A classic example of detective-book murder, it is satisfyingly
difficult to resolve ... Leon whips up a brilliant narrative
storm
*Sunday Times*
Compelling ... absorbingly detailed ... this is a powerful story,
brilliantly evoking Venetian atmosphere, and the characters of
Brunetti and his family continue to deepen throughout this
series
*The Times*
Donna Leon's novels have become successively more subtle, more
complex and perhaps more serious, without ever losing their
compelling power as narratives. This is especially true of Wilful
Behaviour; the story is wholly engrossing
*Evening Standard*
