Review: Excellent - As always, a finely woven plot and many layered narrative, dressed in graceful language. And, as always, a joy to read. Brava! Review: Unto Us a Son Is Given - As with several of Donna Leon’s more recent Brunetti novels, the actual crime doesn’t occur until late in the story. Rather, the reader is given plenty of background into a situation involving a close, elderly friend of Brunetti’s father-in-law. Some new characters are introduced in this book, all of them interesting, well-described and worth knowing. We see a new side of Vice-Questore Patta as well, and continue to marvel at Signorina Elettra’s sleuthing ability. The crime itself is not the main deal in this story, but it provides the framework for philosophical discussions and musings on life, death, love, and family. And as always, the setting of Venice enriches all. I enjoyed this book, which I both read and listened to. The narrator, David Colacci, is excellent and brings the characters to life. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07HB8Q621 | | Accessibility | Learn more | | Best Sellers Rank | #125,323 in Kindle Store ( See Top 100 in Kindle Store ) #851 in International Mystery & Crime (Kindle Store) #1,265 in Police Procedurals (Books) #2,034 in Murder Thrillers | | Book 28 of 33 | Commissario Brunetti | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (10,655) | | Enhanced typesetting | Enabled | | File size | 6.8 MB | | ISBN-13 | 978-0802146823 | | Language | English | | Page Flip | Enabled | | Print length | 274 pages | | Publication date | March 5, 2019 | | Publisher | Atlantic Monthly Press | | Screen Reader | Supported | | Word Wise | Enabled | | X-Ray | Enabled | ## Images ![Unto Us a Son Is Given (Commissario Brunetti Book 28) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81uk16glw6L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent *by K***R on August 24, 2025* As always, a finely woven plot and many layered narrative, dressed in graceful language.

Gonzalo has no children. He is the lifelong friend of the Counts and a dear friend of Guido’s family. The hitch here is that Gonzalo’s friends fear that the young man he wishes to adopt is most likely a gold digger and they are opposed to it. For his part, Brunetti simply wonders why his friends can't just leave Gonzalo in peace and let him do what he wants to do. Alas, shortly Gonzalo suddenly dies, literally dropping dead on the street! And the plot continues—after arriving for the funeral, one of Gonzalo’s friends is found strangled, and clearly connected to the Gonzalo situation. Brunetti now is left to untangle what soon erupts as a very suspicious—and almost evil—set of entanglements. And this is where the Leon magic always shines forth. She is so often involved in developing strong characters, strong motives, and plausible outcomes that they interweave into what basically is a simple plot: murder most foul. With introspection, brilliant police work, and common sense, Brunetti, his family, and his staff wade through all the detritus of Gonzalo’s death, in with the usual flair we’ve come to know—and to expect. Through these 28 books Leon has never flinched when it comes to using pertinent—and viable—socially significant issues, especially issues that directly zero in on the corruption, the scandals, the inner-workings of her own adopted city of Venice. Reading Leon is like sipping a good Bordeaux--nice and slow and thorough and tasty, with a lot of intelligence thrown in! Or savoring a grand Prosecco and thinking about Euripides and Emperor Hadrian, as Guido is so often want to do. My only complaints: “Unto Us a Son Is Given” is only 259 pages and I’ll have to wait another year for Book 29. --- ## 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.tn/products/104368950-unto-us-a-son-is-given-commissario-brunetti-book-28](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/104368950-unto-us-a-son-is-given-commissario-brunetti-book-28) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-10-17*
