- - - If you like your psychological suspense stories awash in atmosphere, drenched in dread, positively soaked through with sinisterness, Palace of the Drowned, by Christine Mangan is for you. The setting is Venice in the fall of 1966, the site of a real-life historic flood in which water levels rose over six feet a consequence of high tides combined with three days of heavy rain and a sirocco wind that wouldn t quit. (Such catastrophic flooding now ascribed to climate change occurred in Venice once again in 2019.) Electricity, phone and gas lines shut down, the first floors of residences were underwater, and the city was isolated for a time from the outside world. In mystery fiction, this kind of extreme weather situation is what s known as the dark and stormy night gambit.
