*Independent*
[A] fine, atmospheric novel…Twenty-one books on, [Leon] has lost
none of her delightful skill and wit.
*Evening Standard*
Donna Leon’s elegant and compelling crime novels enjoy great
success throughout the world. On the surface, this is another entry
in a reliable long-running series. But it's also an oblique
addressing of some complex issues with typical intelligence and
perception.
*The Good Book Guide*
Beastly Things is a perfect accompaniment to a hot day and a cool
glass of white wine. Superb.
*Crimesquad*
[Leon’s] books paint such an appealing portrait of modern Venetian
life that they’ve sent droves of holidaymakers to the city.
