March, 1925. Pregnant, bored, and longing for an adventure, Posie Parker accepts a rather last-minute wedding invitation from an old friend who is getting married out in the gorgeous town of San Gimignano, Tuscany. But what Posie - and her husband Richard Lovelace - arrive into is not a blissfully happy wedding party, at all. It’s a chaotic mix of mistrust, unfaithful fiancées, bizarre death threats, uninvited wedding guests, and a big dollop of very real unease.

In an action-packed case where simply everyone has a motive for wanting Alaric dead, Posie's investigation starts off in the English Cotswolds, takes her through the glamorous South of France, on to the mysterious island of Ortigia in Italy, and then into the Tombs of the Pharaohs in Egypt.

Her favorite teacher, Mrs. Wadsworth, has asked that Eleanor talk about her intrepid travels around the globe - travelling the Silk Road by bicycle, crossing the Himalayas and even befriending the Maharaja of India.

Publisher's Summary
Who do you trust when simply everyone is wearing a mask?
A winter wedding. Venice, 1923. Posie Parker, London’s premier female private detective, is getting married. But on arrival in Venice, Posie finds she is walking into a nightmare. Her lodgings on the Grand Canal are consumed by fire, her famous fiancé is preoccupied, and most bizarrely of all, her hostess, the Countess Romagnoli, confesses she has a stalker and fears for her life.
Tasked with protecting the countess, Posie investigates the other house guests and finds that there are disguises everywhere. And when a terrible murder is committed, with the prospect of the killer striking yet again, Posie realizes she must separate out the shadows of the past and the realities of the present in order to uncover the murderer before it is too late.
In her most dangerous case yet, Posie works alongside both familiar and new colleagues in order to get at the truth. But will the truth come at a terrible price?
This is a classic golden age of crime murder mystery which will appeal to fans of Agatha Christie and Downton Abbey. Murder in Venice is the sixth book in the Posie Parker Mystery Series, although the novel can be enjoyed as a stand-alone. If you love an action-packed 1920s historical cozy crime with a feisty protagonist, get the audiobook now.

What a thriller
If you are going to listen or read this book may I suggest you start with book 1. I found myself running through a gamit of emotions, yelling "who", a lot. It was fast and thrilling, fun, happy and sad. I loved every minute of this book.

Long long not another silly cliffhanger posing as thrilling
Peppered with tiresome cliffhangers, that could have been dealt with in a concise sentence, and the seeding of information that lead nowhere.
Easy enough in the ears if you can get past the repeated descriptions and phrases that i could have tolerated if not for the painful plot thickeners described earlier. Way too long with annoying writing tricks to extend a disjointed story.
Sorry I can’t recommend this tiresome heroine and as for the final chapter you have got to be frigging kidding me. Note to self: Never buy a posey nonsense again

Loved the world but story seemed rushed
I really enjoyed the story and world up until the ending which felt like a rushed attempt to end the book series. At lack of critical thinking that Posie showed in some parts of the book was not consistent in the other books.
In the end I was left disappointed with the rushed finish and by a number of the deaths.

Struggled to get through
This book was terrible- it pulled together threads from the earlier books, ones that were annoying but could be ignored so the only parts of the book were annoying ones- her relationships, her basic incompetence- I am sorry I purchased it.

Gripping Cosy
“Murder in Venice” is the best book of Hathaway’s series to date but I question referring to it as a cosy. Usually cosies do not rely upon the level of tension that is the backbone of this book. Additionally, cosies generally put a bow on the story at the end so that the reader is looking forward to further adventures but not left hanging. Hathaway has done a terrific job hiding almost everything in plain sight. I only wish the next book in the series was ready now.

Very Good Read
I almost didn't read this book, because of the very poor reviews some people had given. I don't know what book they read, but it wasn't this one. I can't understand why they have given those reviews. As far as I am concerned, this book was of the same standard as all the others, and I enjoyed it. Some of the ongoing sub plot issues come to a head in this book, but if, like me, you have read all the others, you won't be surprised at that and actually it is handled better than I expected. All of the expected characters are present, and there are plenty of twists and turns to keep you guessing.

What a truly horrible book
So much for “a cosy historical murder mystery”. F you’re feeling happy, it will depress you and if you’re feeling down, then I don’t even know how it will leave you feeling. Utterly depressing, utterly unsatisfying and nothing the slightest bit cosy about it. Avoid at all costs.

Shocker
I’ve enjoyed the full series of these, until the last one. Ending it very over the top! The writer should’ve have known when to stop.
I wished I’d never read these books now, which is sad. Shifts from cozy crime to a horror story!
