Vexed in Venice: A Lucy Tuppence Mystery - Paperback

by Monica Knightleyt (Author)

An enchanting trip to Venice, Italy. A new chapter in life. A body floating in a canal... Discovering a body in a Venetian canal isn't how Lucy Tuppence imagined her first day in Venice. She thought she'd left behind her days in law enforcement when she'd partnered with three lifelong friends to start a travel business. Instead of enjoying all of Venice's charms with her friends, Lucy finds herself caught up in the murder investigation as she begins to uncover some of the secrets the victim, Aurelia Carotti, had been keeping. Secrets like the painting Lucy finds in the victim's home-a painting that could be a masterpiece that's been missing since the Nazis stole it during WWII. Could the famous painting have led to Aurelia's murder? Join Lucy and her delightful, quirky friends as they uncover both the joys of Venice and some of its darker secrets. This cozy mystery, the first in a new series from the author of the popular STRATFORD UPON AVONDALE MYSTERIES, will transport the reader to exotic Venice while enjoying a story filled with twists and turns, as well as plenty of pasta, wine, and gelato
