Once again, Commissario Guido Brunetti is willing to bend police rules for an acquaintance, even though Elisabetta Foscarini, the woman who asks the favour, is not really a friend. But her mother was good to Brunetti's, so he feels he has no choice but to repay the debt and agrees to look into the matter 'privately', rather than as a police official.
Her son-in-law has alarmed his wife by telling her they might be in danger because of something he's involved with.

Because Enrico Fenzo is an accountant, Brunetti suspects that the likely reason must be the finances of one of his clients. Brunetti takes a look and finds little: one client is an optician, another Fenzo`s father-in-law, whom he helped establish a charity, another the owner of a restaurant.

He is about to tell his friend that he can find no reason for preoccupation when her daughter's place of work is vandalised, forcing Brunetti to turn his attention - still 'private' - to Elisabetta's own family.

What he discovers shows the Janus-faced nature of yet another Italian institution as well as the wobbly line that attempts to differentiate between the criminal and the non-criminal.

Recensioni della critica

Crime writing of the highest order
The series that has shadowed Brunetti for three decades is an epic achievement - in its own way quite the equal of Anthony Powell's A Dance to the Music of Time
Few detective writers create so vivid, inclusive and convincing a narrative as Donna Leon, the expatriate American with the Venetian heart . . . One of the most exquisite and subtle detective series ever
Virtually every page contains a sentence that demands to be quoted ... reading Leon is always an uplifting experience (Mark Sanderson)
Leon started out with offhand, elegant excellence, and has simply kept it up
Donna Leon has been giving unto us for all of the thirty years since Death at La Fenice introduced us to Brunetti (Val McDermid)
Leon's elegant, witty prose . . . is a joy. One of the best European novelists around (Amanda Craig)
Give Unto Others is both tremendously enjoyable and deeply humane. As much about love as it is about crime, and rich with Venetian detail (Jessie Greengrass, Costa-shortlisted author of The High House)
It may be Donna Leon's 80th birthday this year, but it is her readers who will be getting a present, in the form of a new Commissario Brunetti novel (Barry Forshaw)
Give Unto Others is no less mysteriously compulsive than its 30 predecessors . . . Thanks for giving such civilised pleasure for half a lifetime (AN Wilson)
