Publisher's Summary:
Summer in Venice is brutal, and the heat is beginning to drive the people of this quiet city mad. A woman storms into the galleries at the Biennale art fair and slashes a painting with a knife. A young girl is found raped and murdered in her own bed. And a model named Flavia Brollo appears at the home of Urbino Macintyre's closest friend, the Contessa da Capo-Zendrini, to declare that she is the noblewoman's illegitimate daughter. It is an outrageous declaration, and it will mean the contessa's doom. When Flavia is found floating in the canal, Macintyre dedicates himself to finding the person who murdered this poor, disturbed woman. His inquiries lead him back to the Biennale, where the art world's most powerful figures congregate to buy, sell, and indulge their darkest desires. Before the fair is over, Macintyre will discover that even murder can be a work of art.

Another Pleasant, Melancholy Sklepowich Novel
I love Venice (well, I've spent only five days there, but I loved the place), so I snap up novels that take place in the city. I had read and liked the first two novels in the series, though I found them dark. I enjoyed this one, but it was slow going at times. I liked the scenes in Peggy Guggenheim's museum, which I myself enjoyed when I was in that jewel box of a city.

These are a collection of semi detective stories set in Venice they have a touch off a boston brahmin touch of miss marple but set in a city of vastly different style
well worth the read if one gets over a stilted langauge
