Critics Review
A classic example of detective-book murder, it is satisfyingly difficult to resolve … Leon whips up a brilliant narrative storm
A classic example of detective-book murder, it is satisfyingly difficult to resolve … Leon whips up a brilliant narrative storm * Sunday Times *
Compelling … absorbingly detailed … this is a powerful story, brilliantly evoking Venetian atmosphere, and the characters of Brunetti and his family continue to deepen throughout this series * The Times *
Donna Leon’s novels have become successively more subtle, more complex and perhaps more serious, without ever losing their compelling power as narratives. This is especially true of Wilful Behaviour; the story is wholly engrossing * Evening Standard *
