Book Reviews of Through a Glass, Darkly (Commissario Guido Brunetti Mysteries)
Book Review: Guido Does It Again
Summary: 5 Stars
There are some who do not like Donna Leon's Guido Brunetti Mysteries because almost none have a "we got our man" ending. However, I find the finale of Leon's books very true to life and cannot wait to always read the next one. I feel I now know Venice well, like Brunetti, as he walks the streets and enjoys a coffee in a sidewalk Venetian cafe. Leon takes us on a journey of mystery, while still feeling like a tourist in Venice. We ride the canals with Brunetti, go to work in his office and empathize him,his boss Patta. Donna Leon makes sure we are really a part of solving each mystery. I loved this book as I have all of her work. I've read eight to date.
Summary of Through a Glass, Darkly (Commissario Guido Brunetti Mysteries)
The latest case in Donna Leon's bestselling Brunetti mystery series-"one of the most exquisite and subtle detective series ever" (The Washington Post)The Philadelphia Inquirer called Leon's incomparable creation Commissario Guido Brunetti "the most humane sleuth since Georges Simenon's Inspector Maigret." It's no wonder then that Leon's legion of fans continues to grow with each new book that's published. In Through a Glass, Darkly, Brunetti investigates the murder of a night watchman, whose body is found in front of a blazing furnace at Giovanni De Cal's glass factory along with an annotated copy of Dante's Inferno. Did the cantankerous De Cal kill him? Will Brunetti make the connection between the work of literature and the murderer in time?
