Uniform Justice

Uniform Justice (Commissario Brunetti #12)  by Donna Leon  294 pp.

The more I read this series the more I like it. In this episode Commissario Guido Brunetti is investigating the death of a student at a local Venetian military academy. What appears to be a suicide becomes an obvious cover-up by the school. The young victim's family has been targeted because of his father's political activities and Brunetti is sure there is a connection to his death. While investigating this tragic death of a teenager, Brunetti also ponders his own teenage children's mental health and his family relationships. The juxtaposition of the crime investigations with everyday life in Venice is one of the things that keeps me coming back to this series.  This was a great way to spend a rainy Saturday.
