Funny and Sharp

Three people get a postcard from Venice. There is a riddle on the postcards. They converge on the Italian city... and the game begins. THE EVIL OF THE DAY is a whodunnit that got me involved, because I knew the answer was in that riddle, just couldn't figure it out. I read this book in one sitting. Here's what someone said: "There is the opulent atmosphere of an ancient city erected upon wealth and death. There is prose as witty and subtle as it is sharp and clear. There are characters unconventionally conceived and richly bodied forth. This is, in short, a novel to be treasured." -- Anthony Boucher, The New York Times
