Venice in January
17 Oct 2010
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
Once again Venice is center stage as Urbino Macintyre and Contessa Barbara get involved in the mysterious doings at the Palazzo Pindar. The Palazzo is inhabited by a group of eccentric cousins to whom the Contessa is distantly related. When one of the cousins, Olimpia Pindar is murdered, and the Contessa's personal maid Mina confesses to the murder Urbino steps in with his sleuthing. Mina and Olimpia have a 'special friendship', but despite her confession Urbino is sceptical that Mina is the murderer. Perhaps the deed was done by cousin Gaby, an agorophobic and curator of the Palazzo Pindar's small museum of curiosities, or cousin Ercule who is obsessed with Turkish culture and the dream of living there, or deeply religious and stern Apollonia or one of her two children Alessandro or Eufrosina. Thrown into this mix is an exhibit on designer Mariano Fortuny being curated by the Contessa, and of course, Venice itself.
The story is set in La Serenissima in January as snow falls rendering the City a delicious confection. Strong on atmosphere and character, this is sure to delight Venice enthusiasts, and Urbino's ex brother-in-law, Eugene, provides some comic relief.
