Description

‘When she’s writing about her beloved Venice, Donna Leon can do no wrong. . . Earthly Remains is one of her best’ New York Times

A New York Times Bestseller

Granted leave from the Questura, Commissario Guido Brunetti decides to take a well-earned break and visit Sant’Erasmo, one of the largest islands in the Venetian laguna.

The recuperative stay goes according to plan until Davide Casati, the mysterious caretaker of the villa Brunetti has been staying in, goes missing following a sudden storm. Nobody can find him – not his daughter, not his friends, and not the woman he’s been secretly visiting . . .

Convinced that this was no accident, Brunetti is compelled to set aside his holiday and discover what happened to the man who had recently become his friend.

‘Leon shows that she can still spring surprises as Commissario Brunetti is confronted with a type of crime completely outside his experience’ The Times
