I never judge a book by it's cover, but my daughter does. You definitely don't want to judge Donna Leon's next best selling novel By It's Cover.

I have read many of Donna Leon's other novels and I truly did enjoy them. I enjoyed this one as well, I just wish the ending hadn't been so abrupt. It was kind of like the novel was unfinished. Either way I did enjoy it and would recommend it.

Here is a synopsis of the book:

One afternoon, Commissario Guido Brunetti gets a frantic call from the director of a prestigious Venetian library. Someone has stolen pages out of several rare books. After a round of questioning, the case seems clear: the culprit must be the man who requested the volumes, an American professor from a Kansas university. The only problem—the man fled the library earlier that day, and after checking his credentials, the American professor doesn’t exist.

As the investigation proceeds, the suspects multiply. And when a seemingly harmless theologian, who had spent years reading at the library turns up brutally murdered, Brunetti must question his expectations about what makes a man innocent, or guilty.

It seems as though all the evidence point towards one man, do you automatically assume he's gulity? I can not tell you anymore without giving the book away, but I know what I did. You'll have to read this mystery thriller to find out.
