Me too! - By: Ms. S. V. Duncan, 18 Jun 2007
I did exactly the same thing as Philip & was very annoyed to find the same book but with a different title. I know publishers often change/update their book jackets (this has caught me out several times with Francis Fyfield) but changing the title too is underhand & sneaky. I gave the book away to my neighbour rather than attempt to send it back. Most cheesed-off!
US Edition - but still a good book - By: Pardo, 22 Nov 2006
To be fair not strictly speaking a reprint - merely the US edition. She's published by Random House in the UK & Penguin in the US. I'm fairly certain that Penguin are supposed to stop this edition from being sold here - the publishing industry's division of the world in to territories hasn't reallly caught up with the internet age! If you don't mind the US spelling you & haven't read A Venetian Reckoning in the UK edition you may as well buy this as it is usuallly cheaper. If you've already read A Venetian Reckoning or, like me, regard the letter "u" as providing an essential sound in words like colour & honour, then don't. The book is great & worth a four or five star review - just beware of what you're buying.
"A Venetian Reckoning" published in 1995 is "Death and Judgment" 2006 - By: P. Ryan, 12 Oct 2006
A Venetian Reckoning was published in 1995 by Macmillan. I foolishly pre-ordered the "new" Brunetti to be published in Sept.'06 by Penguin thinking I was getting the 16th novel when in fact it is a reprint of the 4th. Very disappointing. Maybe Amazon could help identify reprints in their listings?
