Like all other Brunetti novels Earthly Remains is set in Venice, but in a Venice quite different from the one we normally know. Commisario Brunetti spends two weeks of vacation in a villa on the island of Sant Erasmo in the Venetian lagoon, a world quite unknown to him even though he lived in Venice all his life. Brunetti spends his time rowing with Davide, an old friend of his father's. They visit Davide's beehives which are slowly dying. One day Davide doesn't show up after a storm despite being a fantastic rower. Soon after his body is found. He drowned but it is not sure wether this was an accident, suicide or something else... The book started very slowly and only sped up in the second half. As with all Brunetti novels the truth comes out eventually but once again no one will do anything to punish the criminals. I like that the solution is always very simple and clear once it is brought to light but I find it very frustrating that so often no criminal is arrested or accused. (I received a free digital copy via Netgalley/ the publisher. Thanks for the opportunity!)
