Review #1

Quietly in Their Sleep audiobook free

Are some of the helpless elderly Venetians dying prematurely so the church can benefit financially? The truth is elusive as Commissario Brunetti attempts to uncover the truth, but finds his quest more challenging at each turn. While following Brunetti’s trail, we learn a great deal about several major characters.

Each book in this outstanding series deals with different but major aspects of Italian life – finance, immigration, toxic waste, fishing rights, glass-making, tourism, medicine,private education , plastic surgery, horoscopes and through it all, the role the Catholic Church plays in each life. I read a great deal, and Ms Leon is at the top of my list. Her writing is simply brilliant, and I await each new book with eager anticipation. Start at the beginning and watch each major character grow in depth. Highly recommended!

Review #2

Quietly in Their Sleep audiobook in series Commissario Brunetti Mysteries

This, like all the Commissario Brunetti, Venice-set police mysteries has much good going for it. As usual, the family interactions, the Questura personalities, the descriptions of Venice and the intricacies of the plot are all so well drawn that the reader is quickly hooked and keeps turning the pages with delight and anticipation. However, not for the first time, the author lets us down at the very end. She leaves unresolved not only the fate of the main players in the story, both victim and perpetrators, but also the ultimate resolution of the crime. We’re left hanging–did the bastards get away with it? Did the threat to Brunetti’s safety/health/life ever come to any fruition? Where and how did Marie Testa’s vida nuova wind up? Very frustrating ending to what was shaping up as one of the best of the series.

Review #3

Audiobook Quietly in Their Sleep by Donna Leonm

Donna Leon writes a good story, and she also writes well. There is a literary aspect to her work which is a pleasure to read. Her stories are not simple “who dun its”. However, in this book especially, she allows her political feelings to show which is alienating to the reader. Her adamant opposition the Catholic religion expressed in each character, and the depiction of priests as scoundrels gets a bit tedious. Yes, there is much to criticize about the Catholic Church, but all organizations run by humans have their flaws, as do the humans who run them. Lighten up on your political and religious opinions, Donna and concentrate on more good stories.

Review #4

Audio Quietly in Their Sleep narrated by David Colacci

This is a much earlier book about Brunetti as the characters are just beginning to develop. It was fun to go back to that time and see my old friends when they were much younger. I’m sure that I must have read this one some time ago, because I believe I’ve read them all. However, it added richness to go back and read it after such a long association. I was sort of like meeting the siblings of a good friend and hearing what they were like as youngsters. If you haven’t read it recently, i recommend a reread, and if you haven’t read any of these books, it might be a nice place to start. I can only tell you that they get richer and richer.

In Quietly in Their Sleep, Donna Leon’s intrepid Italian policeman, Commissario Guido Brunetti, receives a visit from one of the nuns who has been caring for his aged mother in a nursing home. He knows her as Suor’ Immacolata (Sister Immaculate) though she has shed her habit and appears panicked. She tells a confused story about a cluster of deaths in the nursing home which she found suspicious. Her efforts to question the circumstances of those deaths had been rebuffed by her Mother Superior and her confessor. Their response was to transfer her summarily to another nursing home where her suspicions were heightened. Even though there is no clear case for a police investigation, Brunetti feels compelled to look into the matter because Suor’ Immacolata had treated his mother with loving care and he perceives her as being unfailingly honest. His ensuing inquiry brings him into face-to-face conflict with religious fanatics, powerful officials in the Catholic Church, and, eventually, with his flagrantly incompetent boss, all of whom try to shut him down.

Unaccountably, Donna Leon has lived in Venice for a quarter-century — unaccountably, because she has a pronounced habit of taking on one or another ugly aspect of Italian culture in each of the novels in the Commissario Brunetti series. Quietly in Their Sleep spotlights corruption and misuse of power in the Italian Church. Venal prelates, obsequious nuns, religion-obsessed laypeople, and even Opus Dei, a powerful right-wing Catholic secret society, all make appearances in this novel. Unfortunately, though the story is intriguing, the quality of Leon’s writing here is not at the level of the first five novels in the series. (Quietly in Their Sleep is the sixth.) The tale is simplistic and predictable. But I’m not giving up yet on the series. Maybe the seventh will be better.
