"As in the previous mysteries, the setting is the main draw, as well as the character of Guido Brunetti. The mystery in Dressed for Death is a bit more involved and interesting plot wise."
"Finally, the characters and plot converged to make a really good mystery! Much more fun to read (and unravel) than the previous three...I'll be hitting the library soon for number 5!"
"RATING: 3.5 PROTAGONIST: Guido Brunetti OCCUPATION: Commissario SETTING: Venice, Italy SERIES: #3 of 15 SUMMARY: The district of Mestre is shorthanded, so when the body of a transvestite whore is found outside a slaughterhouse, they reach out to the Venice division. Commissario Brunetti takes on the case. Right from the start, it doesn't feel right to him. The "whore" is a middle-aged man with a paunch, not exactly "bait" for those partaking of this lifestyle. As he investigates further, he also turns up a scheme involving renting hard-to-find apartments in Venice. As always, Brunetti is an engaging character, one of my favorites. I love that he is devoted to his family, that he is sensitive on and off the job, and that he also has a sense of humor. The plot on this one was a little thin, but it was still enjoyable."
