Title : Two Widows for a Will - Donna Leon - Book
Summary :
After leaving her boyfriend during a failed vacation, Anna Maria Giusti returns home. When she picks up her mail from her neighbor Constanza Altavilla, she finds her lying on the floor, her head in a pool of blood.
For the coroner, there's no doubt about it: the old woman suffered a heart attack and, in her fall, hit her head on the radiator in her room. Dispatched to the scene, Commissioner Brunetti finds no clear evidence to contradict this hypothesis. Yet he can't accept it. Something else has happened, he has a feeling, but what?
To get to the bottom of it, Brunetti delves into Signora Altavilla's life. First, her family, the retirement home where she spent her days, the battered women she took into her home... A complex personality emerges as his unofficial investigation unfolds, rich in secrets. Moreover, each witness seems multiple to him, becoming in turn hero or bandit, victim or executioner. There is no evidence, no straight lines here, everything is tortuous like the alleys of Venice that Brunetti walks to - perhaps - find the truth.
