78 reviews**In Venice, Homer’s wife uncovers a decades-old conspiracy
**
Four-month summer holidays, spring break, and regular sabbaticals mean that Harvard professors Mary and Homer Kelly never have trouble finding time to vacation. Unfortunately, Homer’s sideline as an amateur sleuth means that they rarely get to relax during their time off. And so, when Homer begs Mary to let them visit Venice to attend a conference in the famed rare book library of Cardinal Bessarion, Mary agrees on condition that Homer avoid any dead bodies.
When they arrive in Venice, it is Mary, not Homer, who stumbles upon a murder. An intent sightseer, she combs the city with her camera, snapping pictures of anything that catches her eye. But when one of her snapshots captures something it shouldn’t, Mary is sucked into a decades-old mystery that stretches back to the darkest moments of World War II.
### From Booklist
The Homer Kelly series is usually set in Massachusetts (Homer and wife Mary teach at Harvard), but occasionally Langton takes the amiable pair--ever-enthusiastic Homer and more subued but equally perceptive Mary--on the road. This fourteenth entry finds them returning to Italy, scene of *The Dante Game* (1991). The venue here is Venice rather than Florence, but the travelogue tone is equally infectious, as Homer settles in to study Renaissance manuscripts, and Mary sets out, guidebook in hand, to see the city. She does exactly that (tourists would do well to follow her footsteps), but along the way, she becomes involved with a handsome doctor, who turns out to be a particularly vile murderer. The tangled plot jumps between the personal and spiritual problems of the Kellys' host, a librarian, and the discovery of art treasures hidden by Venetian Jews during World War II. As the water rises during Venice's dreaded *acqua alta* season, Mary and Homer slosh their way across the city, tracking a killer and facing a marital crisis. An ideal diversion for those who like to combine travel research with a little murder. *Bill Ott*
