4 stars. I remember reading this story ages ago at some friends' as a kid, and loving it. I've never forgotten it and on a whim looked it up to reread this morning. It still held up! I love the romantic old story and the Venetian setting. The mystery is not badly done, and above all I adore the gorgeous gowns!! They earn a whole star alone. ;)

More plot than I originally thought, I'm not mad about it.

this book had everything - stolen sapphires, a masked ball, gorgeous gowns, and venice. lately i have been itching to vacation somewhere bright and sunny, and this book was a nice form of escapism.
the mysteries in this book are more complex than i expected them to be, but they are still relatively short and simple compared to the ones i usually read. such is the issue with a 50-page book. the author addressed some issues with the characters but didn't really have enough time to resolve them. but still, there are always enough clues to figure out what's going on (not that i ever do.)
i was surprised that in the back there was a scrapbook that barbie made of venice - have these always been around or have i just been missing them? also loved that the font of the title on the cover was different than every other book in this series. lol.
