Meet Me in Venice by Elizabeth Adler

Having recently read Invitation to Provence, The House in Amalfi and Sailing to Capri, my assumption was that this entry's venue was Venice, Italy. Well, I was half right!

Actually, the major part of this book takes place in Paris and Shanghai. It is the story of a mysterious antique necklace, an oppressed Chinese woman, a couple of wealthy dowagers, a late-blooming antique dealer, a guilt-ridden author and a charlatan and a partnership betrayed. Put it all together and you have a light mystery novel with a happy ending.

Elizabeth Adler's books tend to be light-hearted affairs and this is no different, except their is a bit of skulduggery and murder here. All in all, if you'd like to venture into a mystery that is not a thriller, check this out.
