Review:

"The book is written with that depth of thought about crime and humanity that characterises the best of Leon's work." -- Jane Jakeman Independent "[A] fine, atmospheric novel...Twenty-one books on, [Leon] has lost none of her delightful skill and wit." -- Mark Sanderson Evening Standard "Donna Leon's elegant and compelling crime novels enjoy great success throughout the world. On the surface, this is another entry in a reliable long-running series. But it's also an oblique addressing of some complex issues with typical intelligence and perception." -- Barry Forshaw The Good Book Guide "Beastly Things is a perfect accompaniment to a hot day and a cool glass of white wine. Superb." Crimesquad "[Leon's] books paint such an appealing portrait of modern Venetian life that they've sent droves of holidaymakers to the city." Press Association
