Krimi. En mand bliver fundet myrdet på en glasfabrik på øen Murano. Kommisær Brunetti er ikke i tvivl om, at mordet har forbindelse med den kemiske forurening af Venedigs lagune, men politiske og økonomiske hensyn lægger hindringer i vejen for opklaringen.
Through a Glass Darkly by Donna Leon is Book #15 in the highly recommended Commissario Guido Brunetti series. The mystery revolves around a murder (of course) at the site of a glass-works facility. Very interesting reading about the glass-blowing process. I love the last sentence of the book - Brunetti asks Foa to turn the police launch around and head to Harry’s Bar. Foa asks if he is joining the Vice-Questore for lunch. “No, as a matter of fact,” Brunetti said with the beginnings of a smile, “I think I’m going to ruin the Vice-Questore’s lunch.” I am so glad. **** ( )
Another fascinating Donna Leon mystery, this one set on Murano, the glassmaking area near Venice. Leon explores glassmaking as well as larger social issues of industrial pollution. ( )
¿Qué amenaza se cierne sobre las aguas de la laguna de Venecia? La aparición de un hombre muerto frente a uno de los hornos de fundición de una fábrica de cristal de Murano pondrá al comisario Brunetti tras las huellas del asesino, en una asombrosa trama en la que se mezclan la corrupción política y los delitos ecológicos.
Murder on Murano motivated and solved by greed. A night watchman at a glassworks on Murano is found dead under suspicious circumstances. It becomes Brunetti’s job to understand the crime and its motivation. In the course of investigation the reader learns about the details of running a glass furnace on Murano. Of course there is the usual interpersonal details in Brunetti’s life. The solution to the investigation is almost too cute. ( )
Even if the path from misdemeanors to monstrous felonies is less inevitable than in Brunetti’s best (Blood from a Stone, 2005), Leon shows once more why she has no serious rivals in the art of unfolding mysteries in which the killer’s identity is the least interesting detail.
Every character, every line of dialogue, every descriptive passage rings true in a whodunit that's also travel essay, political commentary and existential monologue.
