## Description

THE VENETIAN GAME : Jones, Philip Gwynne: desertcart.in: Books

Review: Nathan Sutherland is asked to look after a package for a stranger. Just for a few days,you understand. For his trouble,he is handed ten thousand Euros. Tempting. In his job as honorary consul of Venice however,it wouldn’t be right or proper,so Nathan refuses. And so begins The Game. The man asking Nathan to look after the package is Montgomery. Nathan is contacted by an elderly gentleman by the name of Arcangelo Moro;obstensibly to translate a legal document. Although Arcangelo explains that he does not have the means to pay Nathan immediately for the translation work,he hands Nathan an envelope a short time after with,you guessed it,ten thousand Euros. We find out later in the story that Arcangelo has a brother,Domenico. Domenico is in poor health but he plays a crucial role in The Game. To say too much more would be to spoil the plot. The pleasure from this tale is to be derived from the portrayal of Venice and the numerous references to Venetian art and artists. Nathan is a bit of a plodder but there are some well drawn characters here and the affection that the author holds for Venice comes shining through. A very enjoyable read and I’m delighted to see that a follow up is already listed.
Review: Struggled to get into this one, more “unpickupable” than “unputdownable”. Moody atmosphere and a mystery that was probably well written.

*by C***C on 2 September 2023*

I liked the main characters and information about Venice that’s woven into this story. There’s a map at the front of the book that’s helpful, but not very thorough. I found myself looking up places on-line for better maps, etc. Even though I found the story a little slow moving and just so-so in its excitement level, I did enjoy the book. I love Venice and reading this book is a little like being there again!
