Early one morning Commissario Guido Brunetti of the Venice Police confronts a grisly sight when the body of a young man is fished out of a fetid canal. All the clues point to a violent mugging, but for Brunetti the motive of robbery seems altogether too convenient. When something is discovered in the victim’s apartment that suggests the existence of a high-level conspiracy, Brunetti becomes convinced that somebody, somewhere, is taking great pains to provide a ready-made solution to the crime.

3,5 stars"Death in a Strange Country, is the second book in Donna Leons Guido Brunetti Series.When the body of Sgt. Michael Foster, a public health inspector at the American base in Vicenza, is pulled up from a canal in Venice, it looks like a mugging gone wrong. But Brunetti is convinced that theres something more than just an American being a victim of a robbery.When he travels to the American base in Vicenza to obtain more information about Forster, hes suddenly told by his inept andI really enjoyed this second book in the series. The exchanges between Brunetti and his boss Patta are quite funny, it is nicely paced, realistic and set in the beautiful city of Venice. Murder, Greed, corruption, a brown envelope culture, politics and environment are subjects in this book that I highly recommend. I'm looking forward to the next book in the series.
I've now read the first two books in this series thanks to the Kindle Prime Library and plan to continue this series.I'd also like to encounter some Italian writers of mystery novels now.

I really like the protagonist in this series and I enjoy the Venetian setting, but this book was disappointing in that there was no resolution. It just ended and I was beginning to lose interest by that time anyway. Although Im not American, I didnt particularly care for the subtle anti-American sentiments in this story.

A body is pulled out of the canal in Venice dead from an apparent stab wound. Advanced dental work and physical fitness suggests an American and Venetian detective Brunetti calls the nearby U.S. military base to see if anyone is missing. It turns out that the dead soldier is a hospital administrator, and the only person who cares he is dead is a female pediatrician, who had more than a professional relationship with the deceased. Brunetti investigates over the objections of his politically
