I love this book! It starts a bit slowly creating all the basis for the mystery and the - BAM - it becomes fast paced and action packed.
It's the second book I read in this series but I think it can be read as a standalone as there's a lot of backstory.
Ms Pandian is a talented storyteller, the plot is well crafted and the cast of characters is likeable and fleshed out.
The mystery is solid, full of twists and turns, and the solution came as a surprise.
It's an engrossing and entertaining read, strongly recommended.
Many thanks to Henery Press and Edelweiss for this ARC, all opinions are mine.

I love Commissario Brunetti series but I don't think this is the best installment.
I found it slow paced and more tragic than other books I read in this series.
The main theme is the environment and the damaged caused by the humans. The descriptions of Venice in summer is realistic and the water theme was interesting and it's a very serious topic.
The mystery was slow, it took quite a long time before you start to understand what the issue is and it wasn't hard to guess the culprit.
I liked it and found Guido and Venice descriptions as interesting as usual.
I think it can be recommended to fan of the series but it's not the right book to start reading Donna De Leon.

The mystery is solid, full of twists and turns, and kept me guessing.
I can't wait to read the next instalment.

I requested this ARC because the cover reminded me of Georgette Heyer's book and I can say it was an entertaining and engrossing read.
The characters are well thought, the setting is vivid and the plot flows.
One small issue with the dialogues that sometimes seems a bit rethorical.

There's a lot of potential in this book but I think it need a good editor as sometimes the style of writing seemed garbled.
