Brunetti y su esposa Paola se dirigen a una cena en el Palazzo Falier, hogar de los padres de Paola, el rico y poderoso Conte y Contessa Falier. Mientras Paola se detiene a examinar el escaparate de una librería, el ojo de Brunetti es atrapado por una pareja delante de ellos en las calles casi desiertas, una mujer con un abrigo de piel imposiblemente caro del brazo de un hombre mucho mayor, él está intrigado cuando resultan ser otros invitados a la cena, y más aún, cuando él ve el rostro de la mujer, que ha sido desfigurado por una cirugía plástica excesiva. Ella es Franca Marinello, la Superlinftata, de quien ha oído hablar pero nunca conoció. Esta mujer inteligente y misteriosa seduce a Brunetti. Cuando ella lo visita más tarde en la Questura y le pide un favor, él está preocupado. Su pedido parece aterrizar cerca de su investigación sobre una muerte sospechosa que parece un asesinato y el acarreo ilegal de basura. Franca Marinello is a well-read woman who catches the attention of Commissario Guido Brunetti. She is seated across from him at dinner at the home of the Cont and Contessa Falier, his in-laws. Her appearance is well-known due to excessive plastic surgery. The story behind it isn’t. Franca Marinello visits Brunetti at his office a few days later to ask a favour of investigating a certain matter. His investigating leads him to a suspicious death, illegal transport of garbage and a visit from a carabinieri from nearby Marghera. The carabinieri is investigating Mafia takeovers of local businesses in his area. As Brunetti investigates, he feels there are connections between all these cases, but finding the common thread is difficult. Leon’s books are still enjoyable reading as the story lines unfold. I also enjoy scenes of life in the Brunetti household, as they give a more rounded image of Brunetti and his world. eco-awareness, murder, murder-investigation, class-consciousness, law-enforcement, departmental-rivalry, injustice, international-crime-and-mystery, interpersonal-problems, Venice, Italy, family, family-dynamics, friendship***** It all began with dinner at Brunetti's in-laws. Then the trail of murder, deceit, and more began. A real morality play. Voice actor David Colacci continues to add much to a good story. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
