The theme of this book, as is many of Donna Leon's, the frightful decimation of Venice's environment by greedy Italian companies. Leon continues to talk about those deadly environmental forces in new ways. And that, in turn, shows us just how rampant the problems are.

As is often the case in a Leon novel, justice seems to be a weak weapon against the ills of the world. 4.5 stars
