re: #59 Absalom, Absalom, Obdicut

If you haven’t checked de Wetering, do so. Great writer and great ethical sensibility.

Will check. Brunetti has only a nostalgic ethical sense—Republican Rome vs. modern Italy. He loves his wife (a communist contessa), kids and food. There is a companion Italian cookbook. I remember firing his pistol once, after drawing it for a nasty case. Her first book is the poisoning of the conductor at La Fenice opera house. Phoenix!!!
