A review by rkw25
Through a Glass, Darkly by Donna Leon
5.0
[Although this is a hardcover edition, the one I read was actually an ebook, on Nook, which I could not find (no surprise!) under the various editions.]
I have read several books in this series and love the visits to Venice and in this case, the island of Murano, famous for glass-making. As often happens Commissario Brunetti is asked to look into something that is not an official case yet. Two glass-making factories, families at odds, chemical spills, environmental protests, a sick child, all in contrast to the smooth workings (during this book) among the Commissario's colleagues, his family, boats between various places, mostly wonderful food, and the coming of spring. The ending felt abrupt, but that was partly due to the "extra" pages I thought I had to read being ads for other books in the series and two previews.
