Through a Glass, Darkly audiobook free
I have read many of these Commissario Brunetti books and always enjoy them for light reading. This one is about the degradation of the Laguna wrapped around a possible murder. Guido is like a pit bull in his investigations and I always enjoy the insertion of his enjoyment of dinner with his family and descriptions of what they are eating.

Through a Glass, Darkly audiobook in series Commissario Brunetti Mysteries
Donna Leon’s Commissario Brunetti is one of the most charming detectives currently available. This series rests on the canals of Venice, the character of Venetians and the sympathetic,intelligent Commissario who continues to try to find the murderer in the labyrinth of politics, tax avoidence and personal relationships that mark, but manage not to spoil, his beloved Venice. Each of Donna Leon’s series installments increasingly uses the crime to discuss and explore a larger social issue: drugs, immigration, homosexuality, etc. In Through A Glass, Darkly the issue is pollution and for the first time, it disappoints. For the first time, the crime and its implications take a back seat to the exposition about pollution, and even that is done with less than her normally more subtle skill. Some lesser characters have either disappeared or hit a wall. What happened to comical Alvise and his very funny inability to take a message? Signorina Ellectra, the beautiful secretary whose serene devious skills so awe Brunetti seems to have been developed as far as she can go, and is a shadow of her usual clever self. Leon is required to spend a fair amount of time explaining the mechanics involved in the commission of a crime which leaks the tension out of the murder at hand. Most surprisingly, Leon fails to develop her murderer’s character as one who is capable of the crime, which is a 180 degree turn in her usual wonderful grip of the psychology of often ‘accidental’ murderers. I am one of the legions of Donna Leon’s fans. Her history as an English professor (which is Brunetti’s wife’s position as well) has always informed the series, with references to Jane Austen and Henry James, ancient history and, this time, Dante. She writes easily, sometimes wonderfully evoking the paradoxes of modern Venice (but not this time). Brunetti is the man you want to share a caffe and perhaps some pasta with. But as anxious as I am for the next book, I hope Leon can take a break to regather her formidable strengths and feel less obliged to bring out just another book. With a little rest, and a glass of prosecco, and a few more days to let her mind wander, I am sure she will return to form. I’ll go visit with Magdalen Nabb’s Marshall Guarnacci in Florence while Ms. Leon is resting.

Audiobook Through a Glass, Darkly by Donna Leonm
Interesting and readable, with beautiful background of Venice and its pollution contrasted with the floral scents of spring. Far too much detail devoted to the how-to of glass blowing and the job of the plumbers who clean the tanks and far too little on Brunetti’s family life and on developing the character of the murderer. Not much tension and not as much wry humor as found in the previous Brunetti novels. The usual characters — Vianello, Signora Elettra, Patta — are pale reflections of their usually vibrant, strong selves. Some characters, like Ribetti and Pucetti, are introduced and then dropped too quickly. While the ending doesn’t generally resolve the crime in Leon’s Brunetti books, I found the ending to this book surprisingly abrupt. Still, if one is a fan of the Brunetti series, this book will hold your interest, but not with a deathlike grip.

Audio Through a Glass, Darkly narrated by David Colacci
When all other authors let you down, Donna Leon can usually be counted on to deliver an engaging balance of taut mystery and companionable personal life featuring Commissario Guido Brunetti, his brainy, acerbic and loving wife, Paola, and his college-age children, Chiara and Raffi. At work, the doughty Vianello and Signorina Elettra still save Brunetti’s proscuitto if Paola doesn’t. They’re all lovable and it’s springtime in Venice, so what’s not to like?
Sadly, what’s not to like is the lack of life in the story. The obligatory murder involves a night watchman who is convinced that the glass makers on Murano, the island in the Venetian lagoon famous for its glass-making, are posioning the environment. But social (or environmental) reform doesn’t quite fit Brunetti or his brilliant wife, Paola. Even the kids (Chiara and Raffi) do a walk-about. Brunetti tags along with Leon’s story line, but his heart just isn’t in it and unlike springtime in Venice, the story doesn’t bloom.
You will learn a great deal about Venetian glass-making and there is a murder to be solved, but the usually engaging Brunetti and his cohorts, sadly, fail to engage the reader this time around.

What started out as a simple request from an acquaintance to ensure her husband is safe from her father turns into a murder that could lead to a possible environment disaster. Commissario Brunetti is up to his neck in the mysterious world of glass making.
