Donna Leon mysteries are always great for escape and bringing back memories of Venice. I think almost everyone who visits Venice needs to come home and read a novel taking place there just to recapture that amazing experience. This is the one someone suggested to me...not a great book but fulfilled its purpose.
Poor old Venice with the high tides and floods last year and now the Coronavirus. I might haveto escape with another Donna Leon.
"Venice in the time of coronavirus, though, is a shell of itself, with empty piazzas, shuttered basilicas and gondoliers idling their days away."
