[...] one of Kate Ross’ Cut to the Quick, another awesome mystery recommended by Danielle (remember how much I loved Death at La Fenice? Go Danielle!). You know that little part of you that flutters at the phrase ‘Regency [...]

Literary Feline, I reread the book just this last fall, and I enjoyed it! The movie isn’t worth anything-I don’t know how anyone who hadn’t read the book had any idea what was going on-it was that disjointed! I’m glad I’ve inspired you to meet Brunetti.

I was sorry to hear that the film, Mansfield Park, didn’t turn out so well. I hope to read the book this year–and watch the movie.

A friend of mine recommended Donna Leon to me years ago and I’ve still yet to try her books. This year I plan to correct that. Especially after reading your review, I’m very eager to set foot in Italy via this mystery series. Thanks for the great review!

Juliette, thanks so mcuh!

Ravenous Reader, I’ll look into those ones. Thanks for the recommendation.

Iliana, I’m glad he stays good!

Stefanie, yeah-that’s a very good decision on your part. I just can’t seem to help myself from watching, even when it’s awful. We’ll see if I can resist this week.

Stephanie, thanks!

Your opening paragraph cracked me up. I knew I wasn’t watching the Austen fest for a reason

Oh I really like Brunetti. I’m not too far into the series – I think I’m at book 4 — but what I like is not just the mystery aspect but that Brunetti is such a good character. I need to read more of these.

I just read my first Leon book (although it wasn’t the first in the series) and I immediatlely decided to pursue the rest. I’m glad to read this great review of numero uno! I’m like you – I have to love the detective (and his personal relationships)!

Have you read any of the Peter Robinson mysteries? I also like the Deborah Crombie and Elizabeth George mystery series.

Debi, my mom and I are super-close and it sounds like you and Annie are as well! I’m sure you figure things out ahead of time as much as me.

Heather, hehe-good to know I’m funny when I’m hopped up on drugs!

Lisa, you could just read the first one…I don’t feel a ton of pressure to go read the other fifteen right away, but it’s good to know it’s an option.
