This isn't a great book, or even a very good one, but it's an enjoyable story with some very good dialogue. If you're looking for a better modern detective story set in Venice then Michael Dibdin's [[Dead Lagoon]] is recommended. The writing and observation are sharper. The book is comparable with some of Dona Leon's Guido Brunetti books but not as good as [[Blood from a Stone]] or [[Fatal Remedies]]. Hewson is getting into his stride with this series and it might well be one to watch for the future.
