Drawing Conclusions by Donna Leon


As usual in the Commissario Brunetti series, the reader is taken on a ride through Venice while investigations are underway into the death of Signora Altavilla, an elderly woman found dead in her apartment by her neighbor.  The coroner rules the death by heart attack but Brunetti is alarmed by bruises on her body that don't seem to fit with a fall.  Delving into the woman's activities, along the help of Signorina Elettra, Brunetti finds the hidden world surrounding domestic violence and steps that often are taken to save those women who cannot protect themselves.
