Synopsis
A murder in Savannah inspired John Berendt's previous book, the blockbuster bestseller MIDNIGHT IN THE GARDEN OF GOOD AND EVIL. This time, the location is Venice, and the 1996 inferno which destroyed Venice's beloved opera house, La Fenice, serves as the touchstone for John Berendt's quirky exploration of the city and its most colorful inhabitants. As the investigation of the fire and the debate over how to rebuild progress, Berendt immerses himself in Venice's murky and occasionally explosive politics and has memorable encounters with artists, aristocrats, and American expatriates, among others. MIDNIGHT IN THE GARDEN OF GOOD AND EVIL sparked some controversy because it was not strictly nonfiction: Berendt shifted the timeline of events and made other creative alterations. This time, Berendt promises, he has done no such thing, and all persons and events in THE CITY OF FALLING ANGELS are entirely grounded in reality.

Industry Reviews
"[A]n intriguing mosaic of modern life in Venice, which makes for first-rate travel writing."
Publishers Weekly (07/18/2005)

"Berendt does great justice to an exalted city that has rightly fascinated the likes of Henry James, Robert Browning and many filmmakers throughout the world." (starred review)
Kirkus (08/01/2005)

"[Berendt] delivers an urbane, beautifully fashioned book with much exotic charm. The authorial gondola glides from one sharp-daggered standoff to another, and the details of these stories are chosen with care. Once again, Mr. Berendt makes erudite, inquisitive, nicely skeptical company."
New York Times - Janet Maslin (09/22/2005)

"Sentimentality envelops the very idea of Venice like the city's swirling mists. All of which makes this new book's sentiment-dispelling astringency both welcome and arresting....And with his keen eye, laconic prose, and almost father-confessor-like ability to extract self-incriminating admissions from his various interviewees, Berendt is the most urbane and entertaining of guides through Venice's social labyrinth."
Literary Review - John Adamson (11/01/2005)

    It's long.

    The Fineci burnt down.

    There were many suspects.

    They were odd characters.

    I've listened for 12 hours and finally just deleted the sucker.

    It never got to the point and it's not a good listen. It might be a good read but there are too many characters in too many places and simply too much detail that's not all that engaging.

    I gave up on this one.
