Willful Beahvior

Willful Behavior (2002) Donna Leon

I really hate the way this series is released/re-released in the US. This book was originally published in 2002, but I wasn’t able to get my hands on it until this year. Which is frustrating, since it obliquely referred to events in the previous book, which was not the book I read most recently, and I didn’t want to stop reading to refresh myself on the events in the previous book.

The story starts with Paola receiving a request from one of her students with regard to a possible legal question her husband Commissario Brunetti might be able to answer. And Brunetti receives a question from an old school friend with regards to a possible legal situation.

The questions seem minor at the time, but when on the the individuals ends up dead, Brunetti wonders how the seemingly innocent question was related to the murder (if it is at all).
Rating:8/10
