Rezension zu „Blood from a Stone “
"The thoughtful and charming [Brunetti] is on top form ... His nicely balanced world ... is cumulatively engrossing. In this domestic detail, Leon roots the power of the ordinary, moral individual" Sunday Times "Leon writes with great literary panache and evocative power about the world's most beautiful and mysterious city" Spectator "Donna Leon has a wonderful feel for the hidden evils that lie below the facade of the magical city, and Brunetti, sturdy family man and cynic, is an endearing guide into the machinations of Italian society" The Times "It would be simply perverse not to acknowledge [Leon's] skill ... The reader comes to look forward to Paola's elegant Venetian lunches as much as Brunetti does ... The plot of Blood from a Stone both stands up to and complements the cast ... Comfort reading of the highest order" TLS "The fabulous Donna Leon" -- Antonia Fraser Spectator
