Book Details
Enter a world of glittering facades that cloak sexual perversion, art forgery & murder
Jenny Kidd
by Laury A. Egan
Genre: Thriller, Romantic Suspense
“A twisted and sinister affaire macabre.”—R.D. Hartwell
While spending autumn in Venice, a young American artist, Jenny Kidd, hopes to create a
portfolio of paintings to launch her career and establish her independence from her tyrannical
father. At the Guggenheim Collection, she encounters Randi, a colorful British woman, who
invites her to a masked ball at the Palazzo Barbon. There, she meets the seductive Caterina
Barbon and her brother, Sebastiano, who entice Jenny into a world of glittering façades that
cloak sexual perversion, art forgery, and murder. As Jenny struggles between her attraction to
Caterina and her growing awareness that she is in danger, Jenny discovers an inner strength
and spirit worthy of her infamous pirate ancestor.
“A little gem…a top-notch thriller…Jenny Kidd spins its web as languidly as an afternoon by the
canals. Egan’s descriptions of the food, the art, and the general atmosphere are as purposeful
as they are evocative. Her prose is full-bodied and elegant, and she makes prosecco and
prosciutto as sumptuous as the work of Titian and Tintoretto. As delicious as Egan’s writing is
when it comes to describing masked balls, four-course lunches, and miniatures painted in
pastels, she also knows how to propel a mean action scene. The last twenty pages or so are a
breathless rush of dark passageways, tense interrogations, and perfectly executed gore that
leave you gasping and satisfied.”
—Jerry L. Wheeler, Out in Print
“A very compelling suspense novel, rife with stunning imagery and shocking plot beats. An
eerie, glittering world.”
—Jennica Dotson, author of “A Reaper’s Folly”
“The plot becomes…dizzying in its twists and turns. Not only does this book offer a riveting
story, but her sentences have a cadence that will carry you along. Once I had reached the half-
way point in the book, I found it impossible to put it down.”
—Martha Miller, G & L Review
