The Venice Sketchbook by Rhys Bowen
5.0
Once again, a beautifully written book by Rhys Bowen. I've been a big fan of her Royal Spyness series, as well as her standalones which often have a World War II background.
This is another in that vein. A young British art student is given a chance to visit Venice with a domineering aunt in the time between the wars. A quick meeting with a handsome Venetian sets up the plot.
In the present day, her great-niece inherits her sketchbook of Venice, along with several keys.
Both stories are engaging and well-told, and I kept turning the pages to find out what will happen in both the past and the present, and how they will tie together. Altogether a great read.
