About This Item
Quietly in Their Sleep (Commissario Guido Brunetti Series, Book #6) by Donna Leon
In the sixth novel featuring Donna Leon's ever-charming and sympathetic protagonist, Commissario Guido Brunetti comes to the aid of a young nun, a nurse who has had five patients unexpectedly die and decides to leave her convent. During his inquiries, Brunetti encounters an unusual cast of characters but discovers nothing that seems criminal. Is the nun simply creating a justification for abandoning her vocation? Or has she stumbled onto something very real and very sinister -- something that places her own life in imminent danger? A beautiful, suspense-filled novel, Quietly in Their Sleep, is Donna Leon at the top of her form.
Grove Press, Softcover, 1997
Synopsis
Donna Leon?s mastery of plot, her understanding of Venetian manners and mores, and above all her philosophical, unfailingly decent protagonist have made the Commissario Brunetti mysteries bestsellers around the world, including an ever-growing American audience. In The Death of Faith , Brunetti comes to the aid of a young nursing sister who is leaving her convent following the unexpected death of five patients. At first Brunetti?s inquiries reveal nothing amiss, and he wonders whether the nun is simply creating a smoke screen to justify abandoning her vocation. But perhaps she has stumbled onto something very real and very sinister?something that puts her life in imminent danger.
