Maureen is a great character. I first met her in 'A Letter for Maureen' (see my review here: http://thecultofme.blogspot.co.uk/2013/02/book-impressions-letter-for-maureen.ht..., that was a more sentimental story than this one. Maureen is off on holiday and as you may have guessed she has gone to Venice.

It's an amusing book and I enjoyed the flow as the story unfurled. I think it lacked some of the depth that made 'A Letter from Maureen' stand out for me. In some ways this felt a little rushed, especially the end.

That being said, it is a cracking read and it's always nice to see how a character develops. The setting is well written and I did feel as if I had visited Venice reading the story, which is impressive. The author also has a real talent for the human comedy and this is most definetly a fun read. ( )
