Produktbeschreibung
Superintendent Brunetti does not have much to do when his boss is on holiday, and Venice is just waking up from its winter sleep. But then the machinations of the church begin to cast their shadow over his professional and private life. Suor Immacolata, the beautiful, self-sacrificing Sicilian nun who looked after his mother has left her religious order with a terrible suspicion after the unexpected deaths of five patients. Brunetti makes enquiries in the churches and hospitals, looks for the dead people's heirs, and soon finds himself in a labyrinth of religous faith and hypocrisy. A nun who has left the order, a teacher of religion who is anything but a good shepherd of his flock, a fanatically religious old spinster who loves God more than her own father - Brunetti encounters a colourful motley of people, but he cannot find a convincing suspect.
Rezensionen
"Sensitive, incredibly colourful social portraits, close-ups of a splintered, encrusted society. But finally it is probably Guido Brunetti who makes the novels so successful. The reader follows him with pleasure through the narrow, winding streets of Venice." (Der Spiegel) "One gets addicted to Brunetti." (News)"Sensible, ungeheuer farbige Sozialporträts, Nahaufnahmen einer in Teilen verkrusteten, mitleidlosen Gesellschaft." (Der Spiegel)
