Vestido para la muerte (Dressed for Death) Book

Donna Leon, I am sorry! I apologize for not reading any of your books until this year (2020). I LOVE THIS SERIES!!! Set in Venice, I love the plots and characters. Just another super job with Commissario Brunetti. This time he is on the trail of a murderer who has killed a man who is found in the field outside a slaughterhouse. What makes this different is that the man is wearing red womens shoes and a red dress. Was he a cross-dressing whore? Was he a closet gay man? What is the story behind this man, and who is he. Heck we do not even know that much for almost the first 100 pages. Just a really good plot and writing. We have quite a few deaths that derive from this initial murder and all of them seem to be connected to a Morality League, but yet there is no physical evidence of this. Here we are kept waiting until the very end for justice to prevail, or at least we hope it will! Filled with local Venetian landmarks, humor, and murder, we find Brunetti at his very best. Also a new character, Elettera who is the secretary for Vice-Questorre Patta (who himself has problems!!). Just a really good book. Thanks Donna, and again, I am sorry it took me so long to dive into Commissario Brunetti!
