A review by paulmslima
The Jewels of Paradise by Donna Leon

2.0

A historical researcher takes a job in her hometown of Venice looking into the material a composer and bishop has left behind for two cousins who think there is a fortune to be claimed... And I am not sure where the story goes from there... Seriously. I was so bored and confused I barely skimmed the pages. I got to the end, so in theory I can say that I read it, but that would be a least a white lie. I thought it was going to be the unravelling of a historical mystery, and maybe it was, but much time was spent in the present doing I'm not sure what. Pass.
