                                               This, the 23rd in the Commissario Guido Brunetti series,  proves that this author is getting better and that her creative skills are undiminished.  Here, there is a continuing theft of pages from books and actual books from an antique Library.  We meet the Director, the guard, a daily reader of Latin who was once a priest, and an outright deceiver and thief posing as an academic.  One winds up dead and  the evildoers are unmasked by Guido.
