It's clear that the people at Her Interactive love making these games - and as a result, it's hard for the player not to love them, too.
This Nancy Drew game ranks among the better games in the series. An engrossing story, mixed with a good variety of puzzles and mini-games, makes for a good game.

Summary Somewhere beyond the bright piazzas and open markets of the Venice Carnevale lurks a masked thief.
