Venezianisches Finale: Commissario Brunettis erster Fall (Death at LA Fenice)
Blurb
There is little violent crime in Venice, a serenely beautiful floating city of mystery and magic, history and decay. But the evil that does occasionally rear its head is the jurisdiction of Guido Brunetti, the suave, urbane vice-commissario of police and a genius at detection. Now all of his admirable abilities must come into play in the deadly affair of Maestro Helmut Wellauer, a world-renowned conductor who died painfully from cyanide poisoning during an intermission at La Fenice.
But as the investigation unfolds, a chilling picture slowly begins to take shape—a detailed portrait of revenge painted with vivid strokes of hatred and shocking depravity. And the dilemma for Guido Brunetti will not be finding a murder suspect, but rather narrowing the choices down to one. . . .

I enjoyed it to start with, but as the book dragged on, it was starting to get a bit boring, since the mystery didn't develop (though many of the characters did). This led me to stop reading at the 50% mark. However, I'm sure that this book would be great for those who love slow mystery books set in classic places, such as Venice (which is described in detail throughout).
