Venice in Moonlight

After her husband’s untimely demise, Marietta Gatti is banished from the family’s villa by her spiteful mother-in-law. She returns to her hometown of Venice and her only kin—a father she hasn’t spoken to since her forced marriage. Her hope of making amends is crushed when she learns she is too late, for he recently has died under suspicious circumstances. Grief-stricken, Marietta retraces her father’s last night only to discover someone may have wanted him dead—and she may be next. When the prime suspect turns out to be the father of the man she is falling in love with, Marietta risks her future happiness and her life to avenge the death of a
man she once hated.

Elizabeth McKenna’s latest novel takes you back to the days of eighteenth century Carnival, where lovers meet discreetly, and masks make everyone equal



Review:  This novel is a light read with an engaging story. It is a romance and a little bit of mystery set in  1700's Venice.

It is a short book perfect of a weekend escape. There are no deep truths or messages just an enjoyable costume drama of a romance novel. There are some unexpected twists in the story which keeps it interesting.

The characters are well defined which makes this more immersive that most romances. Also they each have a touch of the unexpected which kept me reading.
