Loving this series! Brunetti has really grown on me. Decent, stand up cop. Lawful good, dogged, and a good husband. What's not to like?

This time, Commissario Brunetti is investigating a murder. A body is found floating in a Venice canal, stabbed. Turns out it is an American solider from a nearby base. Guido is on the case, although they would rather he just let it go. But he can't, because you can't just change your alignment. He sticks with it, and in the end he pisses off his superiors and he solves the case, naturally.

Good series with well-plotted mysteries and interesting characters. 3 stars.
