I started reading 'A thousand days in Venice' and got fed up with her. I had to stop shortly after her move there. As much as I envied her for that, nothing could make me read on. I found her writing style annoying and her reactions, etc, not witty at all. What a wasted chance of creating a fantastic story...
I like Annie Hawes. I also find her refreshing, funny and down-to-earth - attributes I missed with Ms de Blasi.
There are lots of copycat books of the type 'I've somehow ended up here and now all eyes on me!' Some are fine but many aren't worth bothering with...
Hoping to read that detective series set in Venice soon. Sounds intriguing!
