Amusing, and it's a pretty good mystery--I only guessed one part of it, and I've read it before, but not for years. The only bad thing is that the murder victim is one of the most interesting people in the whole book!

I can't bear to finish this. It's staying in Venice. I did however like the second wife's confession that she was from New Zealand. Best part of the first two chapters.

Reasonably clever solution, but a very plodding narrative and slow pacing. Nothing to the caliber of Christie.

Absorbing, literate, and fair with the clues; a little wordy, and the ending--while somewhat realistic--was a little disappointing. I will read more of this author.
