The setup for the mystery was weak, made Paola seem silly and childish, and would Brunetti have been assigned the case in which his wife was suspected to have some involvement? I wouldn't think so....still love the series, this wasn't a favorite. ( ) Fatal Remedies is Book #8 in Donna Leon’s award-winning Commissario Guido Brunetti series. Italy and especially the city of Venice take center stage. “In the chill of the Venetian dawn, a sudden act of vandalism shatters the quiet of the deserted city. But Brunetti is shocked to find that the culprit is someone from his own family” This title is an excellent addition to the series. **** As always, Venice is a strong but silent character in a Commissario Brunetti story. And as is her usual custom with this series, Donna Leon highlights a difficult social or social justice issue -- more than one, in fact -- and there's a murder which is not what it seems. I question the necessity of spoiler hiding, because the event occurs in the first chapter, but anyway... I considered closing the book, returning it to the library, and getting on with the next in the series. But I kept reading for another chapter and then another, and things began to happen. Eventually I ended up appreciating the book. But I still think that Paola had the wrong approach. Un inesperado acto de vandalismo acaba de cometerse en el frío amanecer veneciano. Una mujer impecablemente vestida ha destrozado el escaparate de una agencia de viajes como protesta ante la explotación del turismo sexual en países asiáticos... Cuando acude, el comisario Brunetti comprueba que el violento manifestante detenido en la escena del crimen no es otro que su esposa, Paola Brunetti. La crisis familiar que desencadena semejante situación somete a Brunetti a una presión extrema también en su trabajo: los jefes exigen resultados inmediatos en el esclarecimiento de un audaz robo y una muerte en extrañas circunstancias que apuntan directamente a la Mafia. It all starts with Paola Brunetti throwing a rock at a shop window and shattering it in the middle of the night. She has her own reasons but vandalism is never an answer - even when your husband is a police commissario and your father is a Count. When the man who owns the window is killed, seemingly because of her actions and accusations, things change even for Paola - her plan was never to cause real harm - she was just trying to highlight the problem of sex-tourism (thus the shop window of the agency being broken). So Guido Brunetti and Count Falier use their separate powers and influences to try to find out what really happened - and to shied and protect Paola. By the end of the novel the rift between the spouses is closed and Brunetti finds the truth about the dead man but the novel makes one think seriously about choices and consequences.
Donna Leon kokettiert mit politischer Unkorrektheit, ist jedoch schlichtweg erzreaktionär. In einer Welt des Sittenzerfalls erscheint die Familienzellwand bei ihr als einziger Schutzwall gegen all den brodelnden Unflat. Im Schoße seiner Lieben kann der Patriarch noch in aller Ruhe auf dem Sofa liegen, in den knorrigen römischen Moralisten schmökern, während ihm die Frau das Essen auf den immer sanfter atmenden Brustkorb stellt... Richtig kämpferisch wird Donna Leon nur bei Konsensthemen. Doch daß Kinderprostitution des Teufels ist, wird wohl vom Kreisvorsitzenden der PDS Chemnitz bis hin zum päpstlichen Gesandten in Laos niemand zu bestreiten wagen... Ebenso herkömmlich wie Donna Leons Weltsicht ist ihre Erzählkunst. "In Sachen Signora Brunetti" ist ein hieb- und stichfest heruntergeschriebener italienischer Krimistiefel. In Donna Leons Prosawerkstatt muß ein leicht vergilbter Meisterbrief der venezianischen Erzählhandwerkskammer hängen.
