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 façade 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 thoughtful and charming Brunetti is on top form
