I dislike books that contain explicit descriptions of rape and murdering or snuffing of women. This novel goes into great detail about the humiliation and shock of a woman who is stripped and gang raped by six men. Afterward her throat is slit and this is all recorded on video to sell. Guido's teenage daughter comes into possesion of the film and views it. She is shocked but gets over it unrealistically quickly to facilitate the pace of the novel. The lawyer and wealthy nen who comisioned the film for profit are depicted as enjoying the woman's humiliation and death. The book tries to expose the treatment of sex trafficked women but provides voyeuristic detail . This reader was deeply shocked with disturbed breathing and emotional distress. While the issue needs to be discussed there is no need to produce detail drawing the reader into the 'experience.'
Leon continues to write so well that the story seems to flow spontaneously from some cosmic source of all stories. I gave the book the rating not because it was fun to read, but because it deals fairly with gritty, ugly reality. It romanticizes nothing. It does not preach. There is an element of journalism here. She quotes facts and numbers of human trafficking, but always as Brunetti's doing his job and doing it well. (With help from Signorina Elettra and friends.) The thing that sets Leon as an author and the series apart from average fiction is her characters and their ways of living with the results of an increasingly corrupt and inhumane society.I questioned the use of "Judgment" in the title because characters never encounter the judicial branch . In this book, judgment is handed down surely, swiftly, and fatally. It is the concept of justice that is questionable here. As in life.
Though she has lived in Venice for more than a quarter-century, Donna Leon has insisted that the Commissario Brunetti series of detective novels she sets in Venice not be translated from English into Italian. There’s no mystery here. Leon’s picture of Italian society is merciless.In Death and Judgment, the fourth in her Commissario Brunetti series, Leon writes, “villains ruled the land. All, or what seemed like all, of the major political figures who had ruled the country since Brunetti was a child had been named in accusation, named again on different charges, and had even begun to name one another, and yet not one of them had been tried and sentenced, though the coffers of the state had been sucked dry.â€Again: Brunetti “often thought that the only safe procedure a person could undergo at the Ospedale Civile was an autopsy. It was the only time a patient ran no risk.â€Invariably, Brunetti is forced to work around the orders of his boss, Vice-Questore Patta, whose overriding concern is that the Commissario not jeopardize the favor he enjoys from the local elite. A typical admonition from Patta runs along these lines: “‘Brunetti, don’t go stirring up trouble with this.'â€Despite Brunetti’s brilliant detective work, the end result of his investigations all too frequently is a cover-up, leaving the Commissario despondent. “Brunetti knew this mood and almost feared it, this recurring certainty of the futility of everything he did. Why bother to put the boy who broke into a house in jail when the man who stole billions from the health system is named ambassador to the country to which he had been sending the money for years?â€As the long-suffering Brunetti notes in a conversation with his secret collaborator, Vice-Questore Patta’s extremely competent secretary, “‘For fifty years, ever since the end of the war, all we’ve ever been is lied to. By the government, the church, the political parties, by industry and business and the military.’“‘And the police?’ she asked.“‘Yes,’ he agreed with no hesitation whatsoever, ‘and the police.'â€Is this an accurate picture of Italy today? I haven’t spent enough time in the country or traveled widely enough there to be able to answer the question. Perhaps it’s relevant that Death and Judgment, published in 1995, was only the fourth book in the now 25-strong Commissario Brunetti series. But, other than the switch from the lire to the euro, I suspect that things haven’t changed that much in Italy in the last 20 years. Certainly, the recurring news reports about Italy’s nonstop political game of musical chairs isn’t encouraging.It may be no exaggeration to say that Death and Judgment, like the other novels I’ve read in the Commissario Brunetti series, is a work of social commentary as well as a murder mystery. Like many of her contemporaries, Donna Leon demonstrates a mastery of sociology as well as skill in crafting a suspenseful novel.
This fourth book in the Brunetti series is somewhat darker than the first three: Venice is more corrupt and lawless while Guido, himself, is less admirable as he lies to those he questions, involves his 14-year-old daughter in spying for him, and uses illegal means to obtain phone information he needs. The book leaves one with a bad taste in the mouth. There are a few pages that describe violence and are disturbing. Coincidence plays too large a role -- as in the video that happens to be given to Chiara, the truck accident Paola just happens to recall, and the fact that Pata's secretary's sister, a doctor, just happens to have treated the murdered man's wife and daughter. When Brunetti needs information, he just happens to have acquaintances in foreign countries or locally who owe him favors and happen to provide just the information he needs as he puts the puzzle of the three murders together. The killer's motive ultimately doesn't make sense and isn't credible. The book held my interest and was very absorbing until the unsatisfying end. The reader is left with a helpless feeling that corruption triumphs and the little man is tilting at windmills to try to stop it in even a single instance. The rich and powerful always come out ahead.
An early but intriguing story by Donna Leon that bares the issues of human trafficking and prostitution and through the story shares how those who are involves slowly lose their humanity ... usually overtly but sometimes by becoming silent and letting it happen.A successful lawyer gets on train to return home and toward the end of the journey is found shot to death; another, supposedly committed suicide by carbon monoxide poisoning; and a third, again, shot to death. Commissary Brunetti knows in his gut that they are related and slowly builds up the threads connecting each man to the other and to a secret undertaking with attachments across countries and from the highest levels of Italian government. Before it is over, Brunetti and his family will have seen the cost and the perniciousness of such crimes.
