Death and Judgment
by Donna Leon
Buy book: $7.19

With more than 500,000 copies of her books in print in the United States, Donna Leon continues to find new fans for her riveting Commissario Guido Brunetti mysteries. In Death and Judgment, a truck crashes and spills its dangerous cargo on a treacherous road in the Italian Dolomite mountains. Meanwhile, in Santa Lucia, a prominent international lawyer is found dead aboard an intercity train. Suspecting a connection between the two tragedies, Brunetti digs deep for an answer, stumbling upon a seedy Venetian bar that holds the key to a crime network that reaches far beyond the laguna. But it will take another violent death in Venice before Brunetti and his colleagues begin to understand what is really going on.

Got a different book by this author with same protagonist - "Doctored Evidence" - which they had on tape - thought I'd try that route for a change - and how could you resist a book that begins with -
"The doctor hated the old woman, the cow, who he had to visit weekly in her home and never find anything wrong with her and yet had to endure her rages, etc. He knew she would outlive him as well as the continuing trail of caretakers who only stayed til' they could no longer endure her outbursts and insults" - (paraphrasing) -

Hi Doris,
It sounds like you would enjoy Robin Cook's book titled CRISIS. It's about a narcissistic (sp?) physician who gets sued by the husband of one of his problem patients after her death. I don't like all of Robin Cook's books, but this one was great.

WOW!! What a fast start to a book. This book has peaked my interest. I am looking forward to the rest of the week's excerpts. I already put this book on hold at the library.

Not so good

Don't really like this one. The beginning held promise but there's a bit too much telling and not enough showing. I skipped huge chunks!
