I listened to the Audible version, very well read by Barrie Kreinik. I loved the dual story-line. I've very much enjoyed all of the "Lady Georgie" (Her Royal Spyness) mystery series from the same author. This one is a stand-alone novel, and very different from the more lighthearted "Spyness" mysteries, but very engaging. I especially liked all the details about the city of Venice, Italy - its history, traditions, festivities, rituals & landmarks.
