Edward Sklepowich
American academic Edward Sklepowich may split his time between interesting locations like Tunisia and Venice, when he’s not in New York, and have picked up a deep love of Venice (that’s his mother’s Italian heritage kicking in) but exotic locations don’t necessarily translate into interesting reading. .
Read:
The Last Gondola, a mystery in which Urbino Macintyre delves into the past of the mysterious Samuel Possle. Not really my scene, didn't like the characters much, and doubt I'll be investigating any further.
The Veils of Venice turned up on the Recent Arrivals display at the entrance to the local library, and I weakened to the point of borrowing it. Don't know why, as this little dabble into the murky and gothic depths of family intrigue and the need to clear a wrongfully accused suspect meanders along without creating too much interest or tension. Definitely not my scene.
