I enjoyed The Abomination by Jonathan Holt which is a murder mystery set in Venice. The murder victim is a woman found on the steps of Santa Maria della Salute wearing priest robes. Captain Kat Tapo investigates with her boss Piola. However, they discover their investigation takes an interesting turn when more victims are found who seem to be linked to the first murder. Meanwhile, an American Second Lieutenant Holly Boland has recently arrived at her new post in Italy and is investigating something even bigger - the culpability of the USA in the Balkans war. Another character, Daniele Barbo, has created a very sophisticated virtual Venice, Carnivia, which someone is trying to have shut down. All these characters become embroiled in the murky business of espionage, the Mafia, and human trafficking. A good yarn. 4/5Monday, December 29, 2014
