Sinopse

In "The Mill House Mystery," Florence Warden delves into the intricate tapestry of human relationships against the backdrop of a rural English setting. The narrative unfolds with a deft combination of suspense and melodrama, employing a rich, atmospheric style that immerses the reader in the complexities of the characters' motivations. Warden's use of vivid descriptions and her keen understanding of societal norms of the late 19th century enhance the novel's sense of authenticity, reflecting the Victorian fascination with mystery and the supernatural while incorporating elements of psychological intrigue. Florence Warden, a prolific author of the Victorian era, was notable for her contributions to both fiction and journalism. Raised in a culturally vibrant environment, her experiences as a woman writer in a male-dominated literary world informed her portrayal of female characters struggling against societal constraints. This background, coupled with her keen observations of rural life, likely influenced the compelling narrative and character development found in "The Mill House Mystery." For readers who enjoy a finely crafted mystery steeped in the psychological undercurrents of its time, this novel offers an engaging exploration of moral dilemmas and social intrigue. Warden's remarkable storytelling and richly woven prose make this book a must-read for enthusiasts of classic mystery literature.

    In the thirty-third installment of Donna Leon’s magnificent series, Commissario Guido Brunetti confronts a present-day Venetian menace and the ghosts of a heroism that never was  
     
    Around one a.m. on an early spring morning, two teenage gangs are arrested after clashing violently in one of Venice’s squares. Commissario Claudia Griffoni, on duty that night, perhaps ill-advisedly walks the last of the boys home because his father, Dario Monforte, failed to pick him up at the Questura. Coincidentally, Guido Brunetti is asked by a wealthy friend of Vice-Questore Patta to vet Monforte for a job, triggering Brunetti’s memory that twenty years earlier Monforte had been publicly celebrated as the hero of a devastating bombing of the Italian military compound in Iraq. Yet Monforte had never been awarded a medal either by the Carabinieri, his service branch, or by the Italian government. 
     
    That seeming contradiction, and the brutal attack on one of Brunetti’s colleagues, Enzo Bocchese, by a possible gang member, concentrate Brunetti’s attentions.  
     
    Surprisingly empowered by Patta, supported by Signorina Elettra’s extraordinary research abilities and by his wife Paola’s empathy, Brunetti, with Griffoni, gradually discovers the sordid hypocrisy surrounding Monforte’s past, culminating in a fiery meeting of two gangs and a final opportunity for redemption. 
     
    A Refiner’s Fire is Donna Leon at her very best: an elegant, sophisticated storyteller whose indelible characters become richer with each book, and who constantly explores the ambiguity between moral and legal justice.
