Donna Leon's first stand -alone novel takes a while to get going but I'm glad I've read it.All along the way it dealt with moral dilemmas and the end was fitting.It lacks the light touch of her Brunetti series and the food isn't worth investigating.However,the book gives a fascinating insight into the esoteric topic of early C18 Italian baroque music and the covolutions of the Roman Catholic church at the time.
