I love the whole Brunetti series
Episodes 7 and 8 are the last ones available, at least for the time being (I hope there will be more). Here are summaries of the plots.
"Episode 7 - QUIETLY IN THEIR SLEEP - Mysterious deaths in a Venice retirement community are brought to Inspector Brunetti's attention by a young nun who is then nearly killed herself. Brunetti's investigation turns up some unsettling connections to a secret church organization and to one of its charismatic members, a priest who is the community's resident confessor."
(I particularly liked the ending of that one, but I won't tell you).
"Episode 8 - ACQUA ALTA - First a museum director and an antiquities dealer are murdered. Then a Chinese art expert is brutally beaten and she fears her assailants will return to finish her off. Brunetti must find out how greed and violence motivate the world of forgeries and could drive someone to kill for art in Venice."
"Acqua alta" (high waters) refers to the fact...
this is a super German series with good subtitles, and beautiful scenery!
If you are a fan of Donna Leon's books about Inspector Brunetti and Venice, these German TV videos (with good English subtitles) are for you! Currently, there are 12 episodes, and they reflect the books, which are a must to read, themselves.
The actor who plays Brunetti changes with the 5th video, as I recall, along with the actress who plays his wife. But the rest of the cast is the same.
These are really excellent shows, and considering what is on mainstream American TV, these are a great break from just looking at either PBS British series, or premium cable. Enjoy! Buon divertimento! Viel Spass!
