Doctored Evidence - Donna Leon (CD)
Title: Against All Enemies: Inside America's War on Terror Title: Doctored Evidence Author: Donna Leon Genre: Fiction, Mystery & Detective Format: 7 CDs (Unabridged) Synopsis: Donna Leon's riveting new novel, Doctored Evidence, follows Commissario Guido Brunetti down the winding streets of contemporary Venice as he throws open the doors of a case his superiors would rather leave closed. When a miserly spinster is found brutally murdered in her Venice apartment, police immediately suspect her Romanian housekeeper. They are certain their job is done after the immigrant dies while fleeing arrest, but weeks later; a neighbor comes forward to defend the innocence of the accused. The only investigator who believes the alibi is Brunetti, who will have to go behind the backs of his superiors to vindicate the Romanian and find her employer's actual killer. As always, the indispensable hacking skills of the ever-loyal Signorina Elettra are the perfect complement to Brunetti's meticulous detective work. She discovers mysterious deposits in the old woman's bank account, but who made them? As Brunetti investigates, his wife, at home, reads him teachings on the Seven Deadly Sins. In a modern world of intrigue and nebulous morality, how do they relate to the murder at hand? Doctored Evidence is charged with suspense and evokes a contemporary Venice with Donna Leon's masterful flair. An elderly woman is found dead in her Venice apartment. The prime suspect? Her Romanian maid. But then she dies - on the very afternoon of the murder - killed by a train while trying to cross the Romanian border. When forged papers and a large sum of money are found on the body, it seems evidence enough to close the case. But complications occur. The money the maid carried is explained, and a timeline shows that she could not have committed the murder. Enter Commissario Guido Brunetti, the wry, world-weary sleuth who never takes things at face value. In trying to clear the maid's name, he learns of mysterious deposits made to the old woman's bank account - and about her son, an unfortunate victim of AIDS. Even Brunetti's considerable powers are taxed as he tries to uncover the truth in an increasingly sticky web of lies in this tale, beautifully read by David Colacci. Review: Library Journal (March 1, 2004) The crime at first seems an open-and-shut case: a Romanian housekeeper, accused of brutally murdering her miserly, elderly Venetian employer, is killed while fleeing the police. But when a neighbor steps forward to clear the housekeeper's name, Commissario Guido Brunetti seeks to find the real killer, especially when he learns that the original officer on the case is his enemy, the malevolent Lieutenant Scarpa. Like Leon's other elegant Venetian mysteries (Uniform Justice), the intricate plot here resembles the city's narrow and crooked calli, "often leading to dead ends or branches that [take] the unsuspecting in the opposite direction to the way they wanted to
