I read Donna Leon's 2004 Doctored Evidence due to a recommendation from my mother. Leon is a good writer, the character descriptions are not shallow and the story proceeds well.
Interestingly, 2004 was seemingly still a time when not absolutely everyone used a computer every day. Doctored Evidence features signora Elettra who is a .. genius hacker working for the Venetian police force. Her male colleagues, on the other hand will get caught if they try to imitate her.
Likewise, a lawyer is able to make account transfers using a computer, but a baker would be too slow and dim to do so. Hmh, nowadays I would think that anyone can make an account transfer but it would take at least some intelligence to bake a loaf.
