Summary

Aurelio Zen returns to his native Venice to investigate the disappearance of a rich American resident but he soon learns that, amid the hazy light and shifting waters of the lagoon, nothing is what it seems. As Zen is drawn deeper into the complex and ambiguous mysteries surrounding the discovery of a skeletal corpse on an ossuary island in the north lagoon, he is also forced to confront a series of disturbing revelations about his own life.

Well narrated aside from when attempting women's voices! Otherwise great to listen to the late great Dibdin

Excellent writing

The plot is good and there is enough to keep you guessing but I didn't like the ending as much as others in the series. The guy who reads it is terrible at doing different voices and they all just sound really nasal.

Not as good as others in the series

What made the experience of listening to Aurelio Zen: Dead Lagoon the most enjoyable?

It took me back to Venezia.

Did the narration match the pace of the story?

The pace was ok but why the excessively distorted voices?

Wonderful story but annoying narrator!!

Another great story, quirky unpredictable plot, complex characters but really poorly read with the bizarre squeaky voices for female characters. Bring back Michael Kitchen.

Great story, terrible performance
