Deadly to the Sight: A Mystery of Venice

Rating:
Summary: great atmosphere
Review: This book carries a great sense of the atmosphere of Venice, together with interesting characters, good plot, and good writing. If you enjoy books by the late Kate Ross, I think there's a good chance you'll like this. Although set in contemporary time, it has the richness of detail that a good historical novel carries, together with a sense of the kind of people who live in and enter into that detail. Urbino and his friend the Contessa, like many protagonists, are both outside of their setting, and very much in in physically and emotionally.
