Review
An interesting insight into how the art world works. In this art mystery novel the hero, Tim Simpson, follows a trail towards one painting, only to find what seems to be a quite different one. It was only after visiting Cullercoats that he stumbles into what must be one of the cleverest surprise endings I have read in any novel. --James
