"This book was fun. It has been quite some time since I have read a "cozy" mystery and this one was good. I love art and so the art history mystery take was fun for me. The writing is very descriptive and I felt as if I were in Rome and in the countryside at times - especially when Argyll ventures into the countryside in order to obtain background information for his "paper."
I would like to read the remainder of the books in this series starting at the beginning as this one was #7 and it would be interesting to meet the characters from the beginning and proceed along with their development as the stories progress. That said, you will not be lost at all if you start with this one first - I wasn't. The characters are fleshed out so that when you meet them in this book, you already feel familiar with them. The author provides enough backstory so that you don't feel lost at all.
And, finally, please do not compare this story to An Instance of the Fingerpost also by Mr. Pears. It would not be fair - this book is completely different from that book. If "An Instance" is Thanksgiving dinner with all the trimmings, think of this book as steak and potatoes - enjoyable and satisfying.
So, this is a book with a passport and it is ready to travel - who wants it next?"
