Those Who Walk Away | 
pickWhen Ray's wife Peggy commits suicide, her father, a volatile artist named Coleman, becomes convinced that Ray is responsible. His obsessive rage leads him to attack Ray, but instead of going to the police, Ray follows Coleman from Rome to Venice, hoping to explain his own grief and confusion in a way the other man will understand. Neither can bring himself to leave, with violent results. A fascinating novella that brings Venice to vivid life.
Great book bundle from Book Revue in Huntington, NY. Bought their book bundle for which a bookseller chooses the books from their remainder/overstock table based on the types of books you like.

(1) Our first pet was a black dog we named Füles (Hungarian word referring to his pointy ears). He appeared one night in our yard soon after we'd moved there. We took him in because it was midwinter, very cold. We had high fences, he couldn't have entered the yard on his own, but for many years it remained a mystery who had put him there. ⬇️
Had to share this here.
pickCertainly an interesting story, although perhaps a teeny bit implausible (how many times does this guy have to try killing his son-in-law anyway?). Nevertheless, I enjoyed reading a story set in Venice. It harkened back nicely to Don't Look Now.
My BF saw this on the table and riffed on the Kenny Rogers song "The Gambler". Now it's stuck in my head. Thanks a LOT ?
