A Noble Radiance is the 7th book in the Donna Leon Commissario Guido Brunetti mystery series. It takes place in the early Spring.
from the back of the book:
In a small village at the foot of the Italian Dolomites, not far from Venice, the gardens of a deserted farmhouse have lain untouched for decades. But the new owner, eager for renovations to begin, is summoned to the house when his workmen disturb a macabre grave. Nearby, a valuable signet ring is found, reigniting an infamous cold case of kidnapping and diappearance involving one of Venice's oldest, most aristocratic families. The victim's cousin, next in line to inherit the family business and fortune, is the logical suspect, but Brunetti senses something more insidious at play. Only Commissario Guido Brunetti can unravel the clues and find his way into the heart of patrician Venice and that of a family grieving for their lost son.I've read the following from this series:

When I saw Donna and Noble, I thought this was going to be a Doctor Who story. 😺
ReplyDeletelol!
DeleteThe books are all worth reading. Have a fun Weekend, Valerie
ReplyDeleteI'll be sorry to finish them, but a re-read of the series is definitely in my future :)
Delete...Noble Radiance has a nice ring to it, unlike Washington these days.
ReplyDeleteTrashy Tarnish, more like :(
DeleteSounds like an interesting thriller kind of book! :)
ReplyDeleteThis series is wonderful! A real look at Venice from an author who lived there for a long time, interesting characters, plots that offer insight into the various characters and socio-political environment in the country... I am enjoying these books :)
DeleteI have looked for this series at my library, but they don't have them and they don't have any interlibrary loan places to get them, either. Every time you share one of the Brunetti mysteries, my heart aches that I can't find them.
ReplyDeleteIt's such a shame! I wish your library would buy one of them for their shelves.
DeleteI still need to check these out. You have been on a roll with 2 of them recently. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteOne of them was pre-scheduled for the spring season. I read it a while back :)
DeleteAnother one! You have hit the jackpot recently. ;)
ReplyDeleteI hope to read them all :)
DeleteSounds like another great read! Nice that it takes place in spring too 😀. Happy wishes! Hugs, Jo x
ReplyDeleteSome books note a time of year. I'm surprised at how many aren't located in a particular month of season.
