Fascinating. … her first stand-alone … boasts the same sensitivity to human behavior that distinguishes her Guido Brunetti series."—Bill Ott, Booklist A veteran mystery maven weaves present-day Venice into a 300-year-old puzzle in this engaging stand-alone. … [ The Jewels of Paradise ] packs the charms of Venice into a smart whodunit."— Kirkus Reviews While it is undeniably strange to be wandering through Venice without the protection of Brunetti's solid presence, the young heroine of this novel is so winning that readers should find themselves forgiving the Commissario his absence. … The Jewels of Paradise is as much a tale about a young woman wising up and learning to fight more effectively for her own happiness as it is a mystery—though the centuries-old secrets that those chests contain are also pretty compelling. Commissario Brunetti is allowed to take a vacation once in a while, but only if his replacements are as wry and erudite as Caterina."—Maureen Corrigan, The Washington Post, "Fascinating. ... her first stand-alone ... boasts the same sensitivity to human behavior that distinguishes her Guido Brunetti series."--Bill Ott, Booklist "A veteran mystery maven weaves present-day Venice into a 300-year-old puzzle in this engaging stand-alone. ...

Synopsis
Donna Leon has won heaps of critical praise and legions of fans for her best-selling mystery series featuring Commissario Guido Brunetti. With The Jewels of Paradise, Leon takes readers beyond the world of the Venetian Questura in her first standalone novel. Caterina Pellegrini is a native Venetian, and like so many of them, she's had to leave home to pursue her career. With a doctorate in baroque opera from Vienna, she lands in Manchester, England. Manchester, however, is no Venice. When Caterina gets word of a position back home, she jumps at the opportunity. The job is an unusual one. After nearly three centuries, two locked trunks, believed to contain the papers of a baroque composer have been discovered. Deeply-connected in religious and political circles, the composer died childss&ldless; now two Venetians, descendants of his cousins, each claim inheritance. Caterina's job is to examine any enclosed papers to discover the "testamentary disposition" of the composer. But when her research takes her in unexpected directions she begins to wonder just what secrets these trunks may hold. From a masterful writer, The Jewels of Paradise is a superb novel, a gripping tale of intrigue, music, history and greed., Donna Leon has won heaps of critical praise and legions of fans for her best-selling mystery series featuring Commissario Guido Brunetti.

- r***6 (27)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Ultimi 6 mesiAcquisto verificatoExcellent transaction! The ordered books were reasonable priced and fully match the description provided by the seller. Books are covered in a plastic transparant dustjacket. Shipment of the books was swift and in a sturdy parcel, in which the items were well wrapped in protective materials. Even though one of the delivered books was a different volume than the one ordered, the seller was prompt to come up with a satisfying solution. Thanks, great experience!Robert Silverberg (editor) - THE NEW ATLANTIS (Wolfe Leguin Tiptree) - Book Club (N° 134407132167)
- o***b (89)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Ultimi 6 mesiAcquisto verificatoI purchased two books from this seller and they combined the shipping. I was actually credited BACK part of the shipping savings. Books were exactly as described and with new Brodart dust jacket covers. Mint condition. Books were packaged with care and were well protected. Shipping time was expeditious and the seller’s communication with me was above and beyond. I highly recommend and will definitely be doing business with again. Thanks so much.Jeff Lindsay - DEXTER BY DESIGN - 1st/1st - BRITISH (N° 131758845924)
- 6***- (120)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Ultimi 6 mesiAcquisto verificatoThough this had a disappointing ending as the book I had ordered was actually unavailable, I wanted to compliment the seller on two items. First, when they went out of town, they notified me delivery would be held up for a few days, so I wasn't left hanging why hasn't it shipped. The second when it was discovered the book was unavailable, they refunded my money in a timely fashion. I appreciate that kind of customer service.
