Donna Leon is of course a must for every lover of Venice. I am not going to put all her books separately on this list, actually I am not going to put any of her books separately on the list. All I want to say is that while walking through Venice together with Commissario Guido Brunetti, you will be shown the small secrets of La Serenissima, just the way the Commissario sees them. With love.
