Set in Venice in 1899, the story is told in the first person by Evelyn Dolman who is on honeymoon there with his wife Laura. The dark and twisty plot is slowly revealed. With sublime and evocative prose, Banville conveys the cold and chilly atmosphere of Venice in winter which adds to the feeling of menace and suspense. An intriguing page-turner.
Highly recommended.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publishers for an arc in exchange for an honest review.
