Give Unto Others: A Commissario Guido Brunetti Mystery (Book 31)

In the thirty-first installment of the internationally bestselling series, Commissario Guido Brunetti is called upon to investigate a favor for a friend that leads him deep into the murky waters of Venetian charity.

When Elisabetta Foscarini, a childhood acquaintance, approaches Brunetti with a personal plea, he finds himself drawn into a delicate private investigation. Her daughter’s husband, an accountant for a prominent humanitarian charity, has been acting strangely, and Elisabetta fears for her family's safety. What begins as a discreet look into a son-in-law’s erratic behavior soon spirals into a complex web of financial deception and moral ambiguity.

Set against the atmospheric, wintery backdrop of Venice, Brunetti must navigate the city’s labyrinthine social hierarchies and the hidden motives of those who claim to be "giving unto others." As he digs into the charity’s records, he uncovers a chilling truth: that sometimes the most virtuous facades hide the darkest intentions.

With Donna Leon’s signature elegance, sharp social commentary, and deep love for the Venetian landscape, Give Unto Others is a masterful procedural. It explores the blurred lines between loyalty, duty, and the true cost of "doing good" in a world where nothing is quite as it seems.
