Do you ever hunger for a good read that isn’t going to give you bad dreams, that maybe won’t be a real tax on the old brain cells? After the Winter Holidays, and all the additional stress of Covid in its latest iteration, I wanted a nice, friendly Cozy. The Venice Sketchbook was just what the doctor ordered.
Some people have complained about there being two protagonists, about the same age, separated by time. The elder is the Great Aunt of the younger. Lettie wanted to be an artist, take classes and due to her father’s war wounds, had to give her dream up. She also gave up the love of her life, in Venice. On her death bed, she gives some cryptic sentences to her niece, Caroline, whose marriage is painfully dissolving. Caroline goes to Venice trying to make sense of three keys and the name, Michelangelo. She discovers she is the owner of a fourth-floor apartment that belongs to the very wealthy and influential da Rossi family.
Oh, I’m not going to go any further. It’s a cozy mystery-romance. You can guess the rest. Or you can read the book. A marvelous calorie-free Venetian tiramisu with all the cream you can possibly want. With, of course, a marvelous cup of Venetian coffee.
