The plot is good, although I did work out who the murderer was quite early on. It's clever though, with plenty of clues and red herrings. The characters are engaging but nicely pitched so as to be a part of the story rather than to overwhelm it. It was an enjoyable read, although perhaps not one that I would want to read again.
I'd like to thank the publishers for sending a copy to the Bookbag. We also have a review of [[The Kennedy Conspiracy by Michael White]].
For more 'murder as art' have a look at [[Cut Her Dead by Iain McDowall]]. For more artistic killings, try [[The Art of Death by David Fennell]].
