Welcome to Litsy!

So many emotions ran through me while reading this book: deep sadness,anger,awe.It‘s the story of a mentally handicapped man,who works in a dry cleaning business that Brunetti‘s wife Paola frequents.She learns he has died & she asks Brunetti to look into his death.As a favor to her he does,but finds no trace of the man- it‘s as if he didn‘t exist.Is his “viper” of a mother or his Aristocratic father‘s family involved in his death?

Me thinks Poe wants some attention. “No books! Pet me!”#catsoflitsy

I had to go for fasting bloodwork this morning so I treated myself to a coffee & a breakfast sandwich - of course while reading. ☕️🥯📙

My mood is sending me to Venice. Just went outside, the rain stopped, still overcast, but the temp rose to 63, so it feels like I am enveloped in balmy steam on my sidewalk. #serieslove2025

My 92nd and penultimate read of 2018, working my way through the Guido Brunetti series, no 22 of 27. I‘ve never been to Venice but I love the way Donna Leon brings Venice to life; this time I learnt about the Cat Condominium at Santa Lorenzo and the Cat ladies. I so need to go to Venice,
Once again Brunetti appears to be ‘ free range‘ investigating a lonely, sad death that intrigues him.

This is the book I got at our book club holiday party today. I‘m a big ole coward so I don‘t know if I should keep it or pass it along to someone less prone to nightmares. Opinions?

Wow! Simplistically complex and a kicker of an ending too. No one describes food better than Donna Leon too!
