false 68094 10 Donna Leon's Commissario Guido Brunetti series grows more popular in America with the publication of every new novel. In this installment, Brunetti's hopes of a refreshing family holiday in the mountains are once again dashed when a gruesome discovery is made in Marghera—a body so badly beaten the face is completely unrecognizable. Brunetti searches Venice for someone who can identify the corpse, but he is met with a wall of silence. Then he receives a telephone call from a contact who promises some tantalizing information. And before the night is out, Brunetti is confronting yet another appalling, and apparently senseless, death. 66015 book 1994 Dressed for Death (Commissario Guido Brunetti Mysteries) total:404|5:71|4:192|3:130|2:11| 404 1535 543 39 3 2 false false Wed Aug 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Wed Aug 01 17:49:09 -0700 2007 Wed Aug 15 15:52:13 -0700 2007 I found myself in a quandry; I was getting ready to leave work, and I had misplaced my copy of The Worst Intentions (according to Freud, there are no accidents), which left me without a b...more...]]> 4 0 false false Thu Dec 01 00:00:00 -0800 2005 Sat Sep 26 11:13:28 -0700 2009 Sat Sep 26 11:13:51 -0700 2009 PROTAGONIST: Guido Brunetti
