Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 496
When the body of man is found in a canal, damaged by the tides, carrying no wallet, and wearing only one shoe, Brunetti has little to work with. No local has filed a missing-person report, and no hotel guests have disappeared. Where was the crime scene? And how can Brunetti identify the man when he can’t show pictures of his face? The autopsy shows a way forward: It turns out the man was suffering from a rare, disfiguring disease.

Adding My Two-Cents on the Music!
Revisado: 05-12-12
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
Why on earth the loud, disruptive music! I thought those days were over!
If you’ve listened to books by Graham Greene before, how does this one compare?
I enjoyed the other two much more - sans music!
What didn’t you like about Jeremy Northam’s performance?
So many of your British men have deep, gravely voices that are hard on the ears and not clear. The women are fine and British men without the ancient whiskey voices are great! I love the accents, but not the tobacco-damaged sound.
Was Our Man in Havana worth the listening time?
No.
Any additional comments?
It was better as a book.

A nine-year-old boy is found murdered at the bottom of a well near a popular beach resort in southern Italy. In what looks like a hopeless case for Guido Guerrieri, a Senegalese peddler is accused of the crime. Faced with small-town racism, Guido attempts to exploit the esoteric workings of the Italian courts. The voice of Sean Barrett brings this gritty Italian detective series to life.

From a Committed Carofilglio Fan
Revisado: 04-02-12
If you could sum up Involuntary Witness in three words, what would they be?
If this were a theater performance, one would be sitting at the edge of one's seat, biting nails. The attorney/investigator takes breathtaking risks, but in an intelligent, purposeful search for the truth.
What did you like best about this story?
The pace, the rhythm, and sequencing are perfect. So many of this genre overextend scenes or over-describe characters or jumble plotting for effect.
Which character – as performed by Sean Barrett – was your favorite?
The middle-aged, battle weary protagonist, who saves himself from utter cynicism because of his intrinsic decency and belief in justice.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
The end, which I won't give away!
Any additional comments?
The seemingly realistic portrayal of the justice system in Italy, which like our own in the United States, is riddled with corruption and no longer serves individual needs because of the interference of the powerful and the privileged, was edifying without depressing this reader.
