Venice, 1954. Rosy Gilchrist thinks luck may be on her side. Her boss at the British Museum has chosen her to travel to Venice to track down a rare edition of Horace's Odes for their collection.

Things soon take a drastic downward spiral. A wealthy recluse offers a million-pound reward for anyone who can find the treasure. Soon Rosy finds herself in a race against time as her rivals will do anything for money. Even murder....

"Charming, astringent and witty." ( Guardian)

Funny, witty and perceptive - great stories beautifully narrated. Reminded me of Mapp & Lucia stories by E F Benson- they share a catty, acerbic wit.

Brilliant!

Boring and I lost interest
