By Its Cover

I enjoyed By Its Cover by Donna Leon which is set in Venice.  Commissario Brunetti investigates the theft of old rare books and pages from other similar books.  These objects are very valuable for collectors.  Brunetti discovers the thefts were very professional and organised.  Despite the high security in the Libraries where these treasures are housed, they are somehow leaving the buildings.  During the investigation one key person is murdered and eventually the murder and the thefts are resolved.  4/5
