Review of 'Acqua alta' on 'Goodreads'

An excellent mystery set in remarkable Venice, memorable main characters, an interesting setting involving art history and the crimes surrounding it, a slightly too convoluted plot (hence 4, not 5 stars) - a strong recommendation.
I liked [b:Death at La Fenice|68099|Death at La Fenice (Commissario Brunetti, #1)|Donna Leon|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1441466744l/68099.SY75.jpg|1245618] a bit better, and am curious for the other books in this series.
