‘An elegant and amusing book, perfect for those who love a clever puzzle.’ Mail on Sunday
‘Iain Pears has a superior line in this kind of tale… A divertingly complex, often comic, story in which the art motif is ingeniously central to the solution.’ Guardian
‘Pears’s tremendous affection for Rome comes through strongly, making the city one of the most engaging characters.’ Sunday Times

Just get into bed and read and enjoy. I worried about the characters so it must be good.

Format:Paperback
I read this straight after reading The Last Judgement and have to say that this is not as good. Not that its bad - the descriptions of Venice are high evocative and the story links and flows well. However, the characters are insufficiently developed - you never get to really empathise with any of them. A little less plot and a bit more characterisation would be better.
Format:Paperback
I read many novels set in my favourite city, Venice. This was a big disappointment. The sense of place was minimal and I really felt unable to engage with the characters. The relationship between the main male and female characters was bizarre. I finished the book not knowing if they were an 'item' or not.
