Review: Surviving Venice by Anna E. Bendewald, read by Kristen Sieh
Surviving Venice is the third and last book in the highly entertaining The Venice Trilogy of romantic suspense novels by extremely talented author Anna Erikssön Bendewald.
The action of Surviving Venice picks up right after the events of the previous book, Storming Venice, and sees each of our main characters as they try to make sense of what’s happening to them. Although an enemy has been defeated, there are others and the worst thing is that these are even more ruthless and dangerous.
I can’t talk about the plot without giving it away and, as you know, I hate spoilers, so all I will say is that this third novel is as well-written, gripping, and filled with surprises as the first two books in this fascinating trilogy. Beautiful and strong women, dark secrets, murders, the Catholic Church, and a freezing carnival night are just a few of the highlights that will end this nonstop adventure on a very high note.
The audio production of Surviving Venice is narrated by renowned actor and Tony award-winning Broadway performer Kristen Sieh, who you may know from blockbuster TV series such as House of Cards, Orange is the New Black, or Boardwalk Empire.
Kristen Sieh does a fantastic job with all the characters and the events once again. She reads, she acts, she puts her language skills to good use and raises the immersion for the listeners with instantly recognizable voices and authentic accents. She infuses the action with just the right level of emotion and urgency. After listening to all three audiobooks, I can say that she was definitely the right choice for this trilogy!
Surviving Venice is a great book on its own and a satisfying conclusion for The Venice Trilogy. I highly recommend all three audiobooks. Intriguing characters, exotic locations filled with secrets and dark mysteries, entertaining events and a fast-moving, well-written plot will keep you up late into the night.
Add to that a balanced narration from a superb voiceover artist and you have on your hands a winner!
I’ll keep my eye on this author from now on to see what’s next from her because I really enjoyed these stories.
