[a] brilliant series.
Seven, Sunday Telegraph
Super sleuth Brunetti again patrols Venice's dark canal ways in this Italian crimefest. Once again, Brunetti proves he's more than a match for the local mob.
Mirror
The very first sentences of About Face showcase Donna Leon's elegant, effortless style....another great Brunetti outing ... The details of home-cooked meals and family arguments, alongside a never-ending flow of crime, add depth to Leon's stories and are what makes her characters so believable and, in turn, her books so readable.
Independent
a thoroughly enjoyable and atmospheric read.
Waterstones Books Quarterly
The Brunetti series is dependably enjoyable...There are fine scenes of sustained dialogue, notably an exchange between Brunetti and the Count, his father-in-law, over a pair of portraits, that deserves to be called Jamesian.
