3.0 out of 5 stars
Initial Book of Elena Oliverez Trilogy,
By
This review is from: The Tree of Death (Hardcover)
This is the first book of Marcia Muller's Elena Oliverez trilogy, beginning the exploits of her Hispanic art museum curator. The second is: "The Legend of the Slain Soldiers" and the third and final is "Beyond the Grave" (co-authored with Bill Pronzini who is now Muller's husband). Actually, I think this trilogy gets better book by book, so I actually liked this one the least of the 3. But, it's interesting to see Muller write of protagonists other than Sharon McCone--demonstrates her breadth of talent. She also authored the Joanna Stark trilogy about an art security expert. This series is heavily into the world of Hispanic art but is heavily dosed with the personalities of its highly divergent characters--highlighting human foibles. It is not a continuing saga like the Stark trilogy, but is connected in time and in the characters involved. Interestingly, Muller gives Elena a cameo appearance in her latest Sharon McCone adventure: "The Dangerous Hour." I find Elena to be a very appealing character and admire Muller for delving into a somewhat different world for this trilogy; it's worth reading the entire trilogy. Enjoy!
