It will delight Brunetti fans. There is a certain frustration that the realities of Venetian politics, while probably true, create too much open-ended justice and thereby diminish the power and effectiveness of the protagonist. It seems impossible for the hero to triumph. So we must share the frustrations of imperfect justice most of tge time. But do we read mysteries so that reality will be truly represented and the book leaves in the reader the same frustrations that the characters have to live with? I think not. I think we read this type of book for entertainment and we wish tge hero to triumph because we are not able to do so in real life. The hero needs to be clever enough to give us hope even if we are not that clever. We want someone somewhere to triumph. Perhaps Italy is the wrong place for that expectation. ### ⭐⭐⭐ No Justice *by J***N on Reviewed in the United States on January 11, 2021* I have read this series through this book 17. Brunetti is a good guy, loves his family and finds beauty everywhere. What I can't understand is why he loves his job. He may be the only policeman I've ever read about who never gets a bad guy: He knows who the bad guys are but he never gets to bring one in. The bad guys in this series always get away with everything, usually because they are rich and/or politically connected, unless they are somehow killed by another character, which is rare. Brunetti's boss is arrogant and interested only in appearances and personal advancement: I wonder how Patta even got his job. In fact the entire justice system in Venice must be corrupt or lazy to the extreme.So, I can not recommend that you read this series if you need to see justice done because you will not find it here. But if you love Venice and food you will no doubt be satisfied. If you enjoy watching a man love his wife and children, you will be happy. If you take pleasure in getting to know a family of readers and art enthusiasts, you are in for a treat. But if you want to feel good after following a detective through painstaking investigation and "getting his man", you will be left unhappy and likely ondering why Guido Brunetti bothers to go to work every day. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lots to think about *by S***A on Reviewed in the United States on October 16, 2016* I loved this book at one level and that was the very vivid sense I had of being with the characters, especially Brunetti, and following him in his thoughts and actions throughout the book. It was a slow pace, but still pleasurable pace. I thought the mysteries (there were two) was less effective. The priest issue that dominated the first part of the book was finally explained but there was no real "gotcha" to it as the character the priest resented was not "caught". Still there were moral lessons to be learned via Brunetti's initial prejudice, which I thought made up for the weakness. Similarly, the Rom or Gypsy child that was murdered had an unsatisfactory ending. Yet it was realistic! True to life. And there were moral lessons throughout confronting Brunetti and Vianello and others. So there is great depth to the novel. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/16619248-the-girl-of-his-dreams-paperback-april-7-2009](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/16619248-the-girl-of-his-dreams-paperback-april-7-2009) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-08*
