Description
A Death in Venice: A Gripping and Unputdownable Golden Age Cozy Mystery In 1924, Lady Eleanor Swift is enjoying a grand tour of Italy with her butler Clifford. Her latest stop is Venice, where she's thrilled to attend the famous carnival. However, a gondola ride takes a deadly turn when a passenger is found murdered in the canal. The victim, Councillor Benetto Vendelini, was involved in a bitter feud with the gondolier, and the murder is sure to reignite their centuries-long rivalry. As Eleanor attends a glitzy ball that night, she learns of a plot to steal a precious family heirloom from the Vendelini household. The investigation leads her to an antiques dealer in a far-flung corner of town, but when her handbag is snatched by a cloaked thief, she realizes the murderer is closing in. Can Eleanor unmask the killer before she becomes the next victim? This gripping historical murder mystery is full of intrigue and charming characters. With its witty and fast-paced plot, it's a worthwhile read for fans of classic cozy mysteries.
