Doctored Evidence by Donna LeonMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
Doctored Evidence, 13th novel in Donna Leon's Commissario Brunetti Series deals with the investigation into the brutal murder of a unpopular elderly woman. Suspicion falls upon her maid, who has vanished. When the maid is killed fleeing from the police, Brunetti takes a closer look to home....the old woman's son.
We get a look into the police work in more detail and we also we see a lot more of Brunetti's relationship with his co-workers. The politics and the underhand methods that are used to undermine the work the good cops are doing in seeing the bad guys brought to justice.
Brunetti's relationship with Paola, his wife, continues to amaze me....I enjoy their interaction.....
“There’s a chapter here,” she said, pointing at the page she’d been reading, “on the Seven Deadly Sins.”
…(B)y thinking eschatologically,’ he said: ‘Death. Judgement. Heaven. Hell.’
‘You don’t really believe in any of that, do you?’ asked an astonished Paola.
‘There are times when it would be nice,’ he said…
I enjoyed this one...but not one of my favorite in this series.
