Critics Review
The book is written with that depth of thought about crime and humanity that characterises the best of Leon’s work.
The book is written with that depth of thought about crime and humanity that characterises the best of Leon’s work. * Independent *[A] fine, atmospheric novel…Twenty-one books on, [Leon] has lost none of her delightful skill and wit. * 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. * 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 *
