Blood from a Stone by Donna LeonMy rating: 2 of 5 stars
Blood From a Stone, Donna Leon’s 14th Guido Brunetti mystery novel deals with the problems Italy is facing with illegal immigrants.
Commissario Brunetti investigates the murder of an illegal African street vendor.
The story is set at Xmas time in Venice so we get a look into the local festivities and the local life during this period.
Once again, Brunetti is thrown into the middle of politics and corruption and intrigue. Despite the obstacles he faces in trying to solve this case, he does not give up that easily. He uses his contacts to finding the answers to the murder that no one seems to want solved.
As always, we get to see Brunetti and his family and their interaction is once again, fantastic. We also see old characters we have come to know really well and some new characters are introduced that play a part in this case.
Not one of the best in the series. It was just okay!
