Mortimer in fine form,
By
This review is from: Under the Hammer (Mass Market Paperback)
Ben is a middle aged curator for a London auction house. His various experiences are vividly written as he authenticates artwork ready for the block. His frustrated attraction for Maggie, his colleague add to the spice.
I highly recommend it for fans of Mortimer's work. Fans will find that Ben comes over as more dimensionally developed, and less of a caricature than Rumpole. The plots are equally if not more elaborate and carefully drawn than a typical Rumpole plot. (Don't misunderstand me, I'm equally fond of the Rumpole series.) The auction house premise provides more room for the protagonists to move around, and therefore make for a better story. I'm sorry Mortimer hasn't seen to add to this collection. Klinsky's auction house has come alive with a richness few books can match.
