"I keep hoping to find a book of Iain Pears that I like as much as I did the Instance of the Fingerpost, but this wasn't it. It is an art mystery, so if you appreciate fine art and can identify with the history you might enjoy it."
"Fast, funny, intelligent and a pleasure to read, like all the books in this series. I'd already read a sequel to this one and I knew "whodunnit" - but that actually made it more enjoyable for me to see how Pears kind of deceived the reader throughout the book. This isn't a super tightly plotted "caper" or suspense thriller; it's really about the characters, who are all interesting and a treat to be with."
