“Fabulous food, fine wine, fashion, and art set the table for this wonderful romp through the streets of Venezia. Besides being fast-paced and witty, the heart of this charming caper is its well-crafted mystery, which has more potential suspects and evil doers than you can shake an urn at. The whole madcap story begins with the death of Carla’s best friend and spirals out of control once Carla sets out to keep her promise of scattering Sara’s ashes in the Grand Canal in Venice, a place that has special significance for both women.

But there’s nothing simple about the pilgrimage Carla sets off on; before she can even deplane, trouble shows its ugly head, or in this case, its multiple ugly heads. It seems everywhere Carla goes, trouble and mortal danger follows. The cast of bad guys, shady characters, lunatics, and miscreants is large, assuring poor Carla doesn’t have a moment’s peace. It’s well-written and fun throughout, with never a dull moment. Truly enjoyable, and a perfect vacation/staycation read.”
