This book was a fun read but the two conflicts were too easily (and happily) resolved. There is a contemporary plot and a historical sub plot. The historical plot promises lots of intrigue, some of which is done well. However, the intrigues are not quite played through. The contemporary plot offers some romantic intrigue which does not get intense or interesting enough. In addition, the characters are a little plastic.
There is some wonderful Venetian scenery and there is a sense of Venice as it once was. Truthfully, I bought this book my parents went to Venice and I was jealous, so I wanted to read books about Venice. This one sufficed.
It was a decent first effort and maybe will improve with more books but it was not the best book ever.
