So You Shall Reap, Leon - B
Donna Leon is 80, and this is the 32nd in the series. The books have never been long, but seem to be getting shorter. An illegal worker from Sri Lanka is murdered. He has few friends and apparently no enemies. Guido, a student of the ancient historians and geographers, is intrigued by the man's library, which shows an uncommon curiosity. A few notebooks reflect back on the 1980 heyday of radicalism in Italy and mention three Venetians, one of whom is the man's landlord. This obviously piques Guido's curiosity and leads him on an unlikely course to find the killer. As always, time with Paola, Chiara and Raffi, as well as the cast of the Questura is as comfortable as any reading experience can be.
