Cover Attraction | The Veils of Venice by Edward Sklepowich
I’m a very visual person and love beautiful, or interesting, cover art. It entices, and invites, me to stop and take a peek instead of walking right on by. This week’s Cover Attraction is:
Title: The Veils of Venice (Urbino Macintyre Venetian Mystery)
Author: Edward Sklepowich
Release date: August ’09
The new Urbino Macintyre Venetian mystery – Long-time Venice resident, literary biographer and reluctant amateur sleuth Urbino Macintyre is helping his friend, the Contessa Barbara, to organize an exhibition of the famous textile designer Mariano Fortuny. Then the Contessa’s cousin, Olimpia, is stabbed to death in a crime of passion. All clues twist back to the Contessa’s relatives, but it is a delicate matter; especially as it is Barbara’s loyal maid, Mina, who is found kneeling beside the body clutching a pair of bloodied scissors . . .

This is simply gorgeous! I wish I could buy a book based solely on its cover but I can’t. And seeing that this is a mystery means this lovely, lovely cover will not be on my bookshelves any time soon (I’m too cowardly to read mysteries since I have nightmares every time I do). Too bad.
That is a wonderful cover!
That’s a lovely cover – and the synopsis sounds pretty good, too.
