Death at La Fenice

Death at La Fenice: a Novel of Suspense / Donna Leon, 263 p.

The first installment in the now very successful Guido Brunetti series features a world-renowned German conductor dead of cyanide poisoning at the Venice opera.  A dead conductor and a cast of suspects including the soprano, the wife, and a disgruntled stage manager sounds like a cardboard plot, but Brunetti is a subtle, well-drawn character I may learn to like.
