British Mystery combines Art with Murder,
By drkhimxz (Freehold, NJ, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Circles and Squares (Hardcover)
A delightful mystery series follows the adventures of an investor in art for sale as his quest leads him into murders galore. In this entry, the protagonist, Tim Simpson, finds himself involved in a murder case while seeking to hit a mother-lode in paintings by William and Ben Nicholson and archives of still and moving photographs of events historical. It all begins as his police inspector friend queries him as to why his name was found in the appointment diary of a murdered woman. From there, complications are compounded, idiosyncratic characters dealt with, and the art world explored. Writing is clear and witty, mystery complex but not overly confused, and settings well drawn and interesting. I can recommend the book to any reader, particularly, those with a curiosity about the art world. As an aside, for those who prefer the audio book format, it is available on CD's and by download via the Amazon-owned, [...]. The actor doing the reading is excellent, never allowing his English accent to blur the meaning for Americans, and capturing to the full the nuances and fun in story and characters.
