Inhalt

I recently found the time to read "Blood From A Stone", although it is centred around Christmas, it is no Christmas-Story at all, except for some part of the ending. And a kind of an unexpected ending this is, at least unbelievable for me...
Well, the story is about a fake street vendor, selling fake handbags to tourists (and I suppose to Venetians too) and him being shot. It seems very, very difficult to find out more about him and about the men who killed him (we do not get to know his name at all).
The more I read of Donna Leon's Books, the more I am convinced it is not the crimes she wants to describe, but the state of our world in general. The story around the precious stones and terrorism and the government and greed I just do hope it not true at all!
Of course the book is written as well as ever, making you take to the Brunetti-Family more than ever but making you kind of hopeless for mankind in general. Good reading and many questions open!
