I have read abundance of these Commissario Brunetti books at the same time always enjoy them for light reading. This one is that about the degradation of the Laguna wrapped around a likely murder. Guido is that like a pit bull in his investigations at the same time I always enjoy the insertion of his pleasure of dinner with his generic at the same time descriptions of than anyway they are eating.

Through a Glass, Darkly audiobook in television series Commissario Brunetti Mysteries
Donna Leon’s Commissario Brunetti is that one of the most lovely detectives currently readily available. This television series rests on the canals of Venice, the disposition of Venetians at the same time the sympathetic,intelligent Commissario who lasts to try to look for the murderer in the labyrinth of politics, tax avoidence at the same time individual affairs that note, but be able not to spoil, his dearly loved Venice. Any of Donna Leon’s television series installments increasingly uses the criminal liability to discuss at the same time explore a larger public issue: products, immigration, homosexuality, etc. In Through A Glass, Darkly the issue is that pollution at the same time for the first time, it disappoints. For the first time, the criminal liability at the same time its implications decide a back seat to the exposition about pollution, at the same time even in other words done with much less than her normally more subtle skill. No one lesser manners have or gone or hit a wall. Than anyway happened to funny Alvise at the same time his very funny inability to decide a message? Signorina Ellectra, the charming secretary whose serene devious abilities so awe Brunetti seems to have been developers as far as she can move, at the same time is that a shadow of her usual literate self. Leon is that required to waste a significant amount of time explaining the mechanics drawn in in the commission of a criminal liability which leaks the tension out of the murder at palm. Almost all surprisingly, Leon fails to developer her murderer’s disposition as one who is that able of the criminal liability, which is that a 180 degree turn in her usual magical grip of the psychology of often ‘unintentional’ murderers. I am one of the legions of Donna Leon’s fans. Her history as an English doctor (which is that Brunetti’s wife’s position as but) has always reported the television series, with references to Jane Austen at the same time Henry James, ancient history at the same time, now, Dante. She writes simply, sometimes wonderfully evoking the phenomena of modern Venice (but not now). Brunetti is that the men you want to share a caffe at the same time perhaps no one pasta with. But as anxious as I am for the one more book, I have hope Leon can decide a burst to regather her harsh strengths at the same time feel much less obliged to bring out barely one more book. With just a little rest, at the same time a glass of prosecco, at the same time a few more days to let her mind stray, I am convinced she will return to form. I’ll move visit with Magdalen Nabb’s Marshall Guarnacci in Florence while Ms. Leon is that lying.

Audiobook Through a Glass, Darkly by Donna Leonm
Exciting at the same time readable, with charming background of Venice at the same time its pollution contrasted with the floral scents of spring. Far a lot detail devoted to the how-to of glass blowing at the same time the job of the plumbers who unsullied the tanks at the same time far very little on Brunetti’s generic indefinite at the same time on developing the disposition of the murderer. Little tension at the same time not as much broken humor as found in the past Brunetti novels. The usual manners — Vianello, Signora Elettra, Patta — are pale reflections of their ordinary vibrant, healthy selves. No one manners, like Ribetti at the same time Pucetti, are introduced then and dropped very quickly. While the ending doesn’t generally resolve the criminal liability in Leon’s Brunetti books, I found the ending to this book surprisingly abrupt. Still, if one is that a fan of the Brunetti television series, this book will detain your curiosity, but not with a deathlike grip.

Audio Through a Glass, Darkly narrated by David Colacci
When all other creators let for you down, Donna Leon can ordinary be counted on to release an engaging balance of taut mystery at the same time companionable individual indefinite featuring Commissario Guido Brunetti, his smart, acerbic at the same time loving wife, Paola, at the same time his college-age toddlers, Chiara at the same time Raffi. At work, the doughty Vianello at the same time Signorina Elettra still rescue Brunetti’s proscuitto if Paola doesn’t. They’re all lovable at the same time it’s springtime in Venice, so than anyway’s not to like?
Sadly, than anyway’s not to like is that the shortcoming of indefinite in the story. The indispensable murder involves a night guard who is that convinced that the glass makers on Murano, the peninsula in the Venetian lagoon famous for its glass-making, are posioning the environment. But public (or environmental) reform doesn’t quite fit Brunetti or his excellent wife, Paola. Even the kids (Chiara at the same time Raffi) do a walk-about. Brunetti tags along with Leon’s story line, but his heart barely isn’t in it at the same time unlike springtime in Venice, the story doesn’t bloom.
For you will learn a amazing deal about Venetian glass-making at the same time that is that a murder to be solved, but the ordinary engaging Brunetti at the same time his cohorts, sadly, fail to involve the reader now around.
