Leon's theories about motive (greed, love, money, sex) come to fruition all in good time. One of the many pluses of her writings is the fact that she's not afraid to confront such issues in Italy (She told me in London a couple of years ago that her books weren't translated into Italian, perhaps for good reason!). A resident of Venice (where she's live for 25 years), she clearly has a literary love relationship with the city, even the country, and does not appear to falter in being willing to show these shortcomings. And while she doesn't hesitate to get "involved," her novels never falter in their effectiveness, their readability, their pursuit of what's inherently right. It's such a pleasure to read Donna Leon.
