TRANSIENT DESIRES Commissario Brunetti, Book 30

Once again, listeners join Commissario Guido Brunetti, this time as he tries to uncover what is behind the strange behavior of two young men after an apparent boat accident in Venice. Brunetti calls on his many years of experience to fit the puzzle pieces together. Narrator David Colacci creates a believable and likable character in Brunetti, emphasizing his joy in his family, as well as the tougher side of him that interrogates suspects. Colacci pronounces Italian names with an authentic-sounding accent, and his skill helps to ensure the verisimilitude of the story's Venetian backdrop. While this is the thirtieth installment in the series, Colacci's clear characterizations help new listeners get to know Brunetti and company.
