Product Description
Synopsis
Tim Simpson's latest plan for the art fund is to purchase paintings by father and son William and Ben Nicholson; he is also exploring the possibility of an investment in a film/photographic archive. But his activities are put on hold when he is implicated in the murder of a Pimlico-based film researcher. All the police have to go on is a notebook full of cryptic scribbles (including the name 'Simpson, T') and a collection of photographs. Tim has no knowledge of the dead woman, but is shocked to realise that the photos left in her flat all relate to the Nicholsons. Then the colleague assisting with the Nicholson acquisition is brutally attacked and Tim realises that has ventured deep in the dangerous world of modern art fakes.

British Mystery combines Art with Murder
9 May 2010
Format:Hardcover
A delightful mystery series follows the adventures of an investor in art for sale as his quest leads him into murders galore. In this entry, the protagonist, Tim Simpson, finds himself involved in a murder case while seeking to hit a mother-lode in paintings by William and Ben Nicholson and archives of still and moving photographs of events historical. It all begins as his police inspector friend queries him as to why his name was found in the appointment diary of a murdered woman. From there, complications are compounded, idiosyncratic characters dealt with, and the art world explored. Writing is clear and witty, mystery complex but not overly confused, and settings well drawn and interesting. I can recommend the book to any reader, particularly, those with a curiosity about the art world. As an aside, for those who prefer the audio book format, it is available on CD's and by download via the Amazon-owned, [...]. The actor doing the reading is excellent, never allowing his English accent to blur the meaning for Americans, and capturing to the full the nuances and fun in story and characters.
