Amazing that Berendt found another city with such quirky residents! And a crime, to boot. But he writes it well. With si many haracters, it's still easy to follow. Not as outstanding an ending as "Midnight in the Garden..." but being it was a true story, he did tir up loose ends of the crime as best he could. I enjoyed this book. It helped that he lived there years ago & knew the language. I think it wqs well worth the wait.
Great Book, Great Conditions, Good reading.

I found this book very interesting. As I didn't know anything about the city of Venice, this seemed to open it up. It feels very real and authentic and makes me want to go there. Normally, I steer far away from the non-fiction category, but this one caught me. And I am glad it did! It felt more like reading fiction because all the stories were so surreal, yet they are true. Highly recommend it to just about anyone, especially if you love Venice! Chances are that you won't be disappointed.
Well written. Lot's of sub-plots
