The Venice Sketchbook
by Rhys Bowen
☆ Shortlisted for the 2022 Edgar Allan Poe Awards
The Venice Sketchbook by Rhys Bowen is a work of historical fiction (or possibly historical romance) set in both the present and the lead up to World War II. We’ve included it because it’s been shortlisted for an Edgar, but it’s not really a mystery in the classic sense of having you guessing whodunnit. The plot revolves around a woman learning more about the past life of her recently deceased great aunt, with most of the action taking place in Venice (aka La Serenissima).
