Celebrate "Venice Then and Now" August 1
Launch Party for "The Courtesan's Secret" with Guest MA Monnin, author of "Death on the Grand Canal" Tuesday evening, August 1 at 8:00 PM ET
Join two authors for a virtual tour of Venice
MA (Mary) Monnin and I met through our publisher, and found we share a love of travel, art and Venice,and we were both nominated for the Agatha for Best First Novel. We’ve partnered on speaking tours about Art & Crime, and since Mary’s latest novel is set in modern Venice, I invited her to cohost my launch party for “The Courtesan’s Secret”, set in the Golden Age of Venice, in the early 1600s

Discover the plots, poisons and pride of Venice, the “City of Mystery”
We’ll compare and contrast the Venetian setting and the women who feature in each novel. Hidden gems, wonders from Carnevale, lavish and decaying palazzos, a city on the rise, and its beauties.
“A romantic mystery that revives its genre."
--Kirkus Reviews on Death on the Grand Canal by MA Monnin
“A riveting tale that is both high adventure and a vivid portrait of Venice's Jewish community in the late Renaissance." —Mariah Fredericks, author of Agatha-nominated The Lindbergh Nanny
