Tiziana’s Reviews > Scherzo: Murder and Mystery in 18th Century Venice > Status Update

a complicated mystery, with many plots and many names, told through 3 different characters. The depravity of Venice at the time told in a non-vulgar yet clear enough way, in long scenes that I would have preferred to be shorter and some, even if they hadn't been there, wouldn't have damaged the intrigue and mystery.

Reading the author's life on Wikipedia, I unintentionally spoiled the culprit. In real life the writer had a dispute with an Italian publisher, due to a book he wrote under a certain pseudonym.
WARNING A SORT OF SPOILER:
In the book he gave this pseudonym to the victim and the name of the publisher (who caused his career problems) to one character... it's clear that he is the culprit... Nooooooo... I hate this author

The beginning is really very confusing... Even the second chapter is composed only of a letter in which you don't really understand anything of what it says (because it doesn't make sense).
Indeed, to tell the truth, each chapter seems disconnected from the other chapters...But curiosity keeps me going
