A review by mbeogoa
The Venice Sketchbook by Rhys Bowen

3.0

An enjoyable enough read if you're a fan of lighter historical fiction and are also craving a trip to Venice (who isn't?). Personally, not my favorite of Bowen's works. I felt it walked a strange line between being serious while also her usual, more fun historical fictions and thus didn't hugely succeed on either front. I wasn't a huge fan of the two different timelines and largely felt it unnecessary. Ending also was kind of abrupt.
