The Courtesan’s Pirate

Venice Beauties Mystery, #3

by

Nina Wachsmann

Honest to goodness non-stop action and a suspense-filled good time!

The Courtesan’s Pirate is the third and final book in author Nina Wachsmann’s epic Venice Beauties Mystery series. The action is non-stop and filled with high-stakes suspense. 

Belladonna and Isaak had finally united on Jamaica, ready to plan their future, when the dreaded and dangerous Spanish threatened their island refuge. Even though she is a baptized Christian, Belladonna’s Jewish heritage dooms her in their eyes as a religious traitor, and a horrible death awaits should she fall into their hands. Her escape from the island is fraught with peril, while she fears the worst for Isaak, who has been lost at sea during a massive storm. 

The story unfolds from multiple points of view, but it is easy to keep up with, and the different characters are distinct. However, as this is the third book of the trilogy, there are two full-length novels worth of backstory in the past. The author does a good job of including expanded details of the highlights so readers new to the series can get the gist. However, the previous books are honestly not to be missed! The author’s writing style is vivid, compelling, and easy to read, and THE COURTESAN’S PIRATE is a real adventure story from start to finish.
