«Las joyas del paraíso» is the mystery novel by Donna Leon, published by Círculo De Lectores in paperback (315 pages, in Spanish).
Caterina Pellegrini, a musicologist expert in Baroque opera, returns to Venice to examine two sealed chests belonging to composer Agostino Steffani. Two descendants expect a fortune, but she uncovers secrets: operas used as a secret code between lovers, a famous murder, and the «joyas del paraíso».
It is a standalone novel from the Commissario Brunetti series, originally published as «The Jewels of Paradise» in 2012, translated by Maia Figueroa Evans.
For readers of mystery and historical intrigue, especially fans of Baroque music and stories set in Venice.
Donna Leon is the American author of a series of crime novels set in Venice, Italy, featuring the fictional hero Commissario Guido Brunetti. The novels are written in English and have been translated into many foreign languages, although – at Leon's request – not into Italian, as she formerly lived there, still visits monthly, and prefers not to have recognition in the country.
