The Venetian Venture by Suzette A Hill
Rosy Gilchrist is sent to Venice to find a rare, signed translation of Horace's Odes by Dr Bodger. Rosy jumps at the chance to fit some sightseeing around work, but the holiday plans go on hold when she learns that there is a significant bounty prize for anyone who finds this valuable text. Finding herself in the midst of a cat-and-mouse chase, Rosy's rivals will stop at nothing, not even murder, to get their hands on the book.
'Hill's clever and laugh-aloud tales bring a whole new slant to the world of murder mysteriesWittily written, tightly plotted and fun to read ... A sparkling gallery of characters.' SIMON BRETT 'Misty waterways and shadowy piazzas provide the setting for suspected blackmail [and] murder in this comic thriller... The elegant social whirl of bellinis at Harry's and espressos at Cafe Florian offer light relief and tempting descriptions of Venice - so much so that you'll be planning your very own Venetian holiday by the end!' Gemma Matthews for the Royal Over-Seas League magazine 'This was great fun, and I'm going to have Suzette A. Hill on prescription ready for the next time I need a pick-me-up. A feel-good read' The Bookhound 'So well observed that the reader really is transported to Italy' Crime Review
