Backstage isn’t a mystery, but is a collection of stories by Donna Leon, about Donna Leon, who is, of course, the author of the long-running and awesome IMO Commissario Brunetti series, set in Venice. (You can read some of my reviews here and here and here.) I haven’t read this collection yet, but the blurb makes it sound as if it’s sort of an essay version of a autobiography. And since writing mysteries is what has made Leon famous, this seems to fit nicely on a blog that’s mostly about mysteries. Backstage is £0.99 for a few more hours in the UK right now…
