Unique and Delicious
Venice is a city of masks: opulent, romantic, and drenched in secrets.
Angela, a young Portuguese woman, has spent her life trying to be invisible. As a cleaner at the city’s most exclusive restaurant, she drifts through the shadows, scrubbing floors and daydreaming of a better life. She knows her place is to be unseen.
She cleans their floors. She never expected to clean their consciences.
In the concealed kitchens of Venice, flavors and horrors share the same recipe. When Angela stumbles upon a macabre discovery plated for the elite, her invisibility becomes her only shield. She has found a secret that the city would kill to keep quiet.

Art of Delicious Suspense
The book's greatest strength is its vivid world-building. The author treats Venice not as a tourist postcard, but as a claustrophobic, shadowy character in its own right. The "dark culinary" theme is a unique twist on the thriller genre; it’s unsettling and fresh, blending the elegance of high-end cooking with the grit of a psychological horror.
Enjoy a good story in romantic though dark Venice
The Flavor of Sin is a gripping, atmospheric thriller for fans of dark mysteries and "noir" fiction. It’s perfect for readers who enjoy authors like Jean-Christophe Grangé or Thomas Harris, where the setting is as important as the crime itself.
