The celebrated Venetian detective returns in his 31st case in a year of celebration for his author, Donna Leon

'Donna Leon has been giving unto us for all of the thirty years since Death at La Fenice introduced us to Brunetti' Val McDermid
'Crime writing of the highest order' GUARDIAN

The gifted Venetian detective returns in his 31st case - this time, investigating the Janus-faced nature of yet another Italian institution. Brunetti will have to once again face the blurred line that runs between the criminal and the non-criminal, bending police rules, and his own character, to help an acquaintance in danger.

'Both tremendously enjoyable and deeply humane' JESSIE GREENGRASS, Costa-shortlisted author of The High House
'Leon's elegant, witty prose . . . is a joy' AMANDA CRAIG

Praise for Give Unto Others

Crime writing of the highest order

Guardian

The series that has shadowed Brunetti for three decades is an epic achievement - in its own way quite the equal of Anthony Powell's A Dance to the Music of Time

The Times

Few detective writers create so vivid, inclusive and convincing a narrative as Donna Leon, the expatriate American with the Venetian heart . . . One of the most exquisite and subtle detective series ever

The Washington Post

Leon started out with offhand, elegant excellence, and has simply kept it up

Guardian

Donna Leon has been giving unto us for all of the thirty years since Death at La Fenice introduced us to Brunetti

Val McDermid

Leon's elegant, witty prose . . . is a joy. One of the best European novelists around

Amanda Craig

Give Unto Others is both tremendously enjoyable and deeply humane. As much about love as it is about crime, and rich with Venetian detail

Jessie Greengrass, Costa-shortlisted author of The High House

It may be Donna Leon's 80th birthday this year, but it is her readers who will be getting a present, in the form of a new Commissario Brunetti novel

Barry Forshaw, Financial Times

Give Unto Others is no less mysteriously compulsive than its 30 predecessors . . . Thanks for giving such civilised pleasure for half a lifetime

AN Wilson, The Tablet

Virtually every page contains a sentence that demands to be quoted ... reading Leon is always an uplifting experience

Mark Sanderson, The Times

A gently paced, emotionally acute story of betrayal and revenge.

Mail on Sunday

Sumptuous and intensely satisfying, it reminds us what an extraordinary gift Leon has given us
