A noble family, a legendary painting, a cursed palazzo. The new Venetian mystery from master storyteller David Hewson.

When Arnold Clover is recruited by Lizzie Hawker to help her look into her family inheritance, he cannot begin to guess the journey he is about to embark on.

Lizzie's mother, an Italian countess, disappeared thirty years ago, presumed dead. Her father, a famous, some say infamous, music promoter, has just died and now the family home Ca' Scacchi, a leaning palazzo in Dorsoduro, has fallen to her. When her mother vanished so too did a priceless painting, supposedly an erotic portrait of Lucrezia Borgia, which has captivated men for generations.

When a body is discovered in a hidden crypt beneath the checkerboard courtyard of the palazzo, other secrets are unearthed with it. Lying with the body is a document, a story of an episode in Casanova's colourful life, and within it a set of clues that might lead to the location of the painting. But it quickly becomes apparent that Lizzie and Arnold are not the only ones interested in finding the painting.

The search for the lost Lucrezia quickly becomes a race through the secret history of Venice, one with potentially deadly consequences.

I thought I’d be willing to listen to Richard Armitage narrate anything, but as it turns out - not to a creepy old archivist put the predatory moves on a much younger, vulnerable woman who has requested his assistance in a professional capacity. Total ICK - could not finish it.

The story had potential, the ‘romance’ made my skin crawl

I had great expectations for this, and it was quite enjoyable for about two thirds through, but true to any given pulp fiction, a sex scene tipped this into a predictable and disappointing conclusion, followed by a truly lengthy and tedious epilogue. (PS note that relationship depicted is consensual: Lizzie is a worldly 40, no victim of a “creepy” 60ish academic widower. It’s just not interesting). The heroine became tiresome midway when it was clear that her working class simplicity didn’t ultimately disguise greater depth. Also the protagonist grew stupider than he should have, and finally unlikely events and coincidences of the latter chapters stretched believability past breaking. In addition, major plot spoilers of the previous book were touched on, the writer apparently assumed they’d be read in published order (I hadn’t). Armitage performed well, but there’s just so far one can salvage a mess.

Great start, but…

I liked this second book more than the first of the series. I enjoyed the riddle solving taking readers all over Venice. It was quite fun. I did not like the romance between Arnold and Lizzie. It’s a bit cheesy and totally unnecessary for the story and ruined the character setting for Arnold Clover. Lizzy is unlikable and annoying. Richard Armitage’s narration was excellent and impeccable.

Fun story

This is so good. I could not stop listening to it. It is even better than the first book in the series. Reminiscent of The DaVinci Code. Excellent history and details of lesser known sights in Venice woven into the story.

Murder, Italian treasure hunt

This was a great follow up to the first book of the series. I truly hope that there will be more to come. Though, because this one left me wanting more
