Donna Leon Does it Again

Guido Brunetti starts his 25th case with a unique request from a Contessa who is a good friend of his mother-in-law. Her granddaughter was almost drowned 15 years before. Because of the long time she was underwater, Manuela suffered brain damage. Although she has the body of a 30 year-old, she has the mind of a child of about 7.

Manuela was rescued by a drunk. The next day, when questioned, the drunk had no memory of the event. There were rumors that Manuela was pushed into the water by a shadowy man. The Contessa is nearing her death and wants to know the truth before she dies. The consequences of this accident destroyed a family.

This is an elegantly told story with incredible pathos. Venice serves as the backdrop. Current concerns in Venice are included; such as 'How can we help the young people stay in Venice by offering them reasonably priced housing?'

This is one of those stories that will stay with me a long time.
