Product Description
Review
‘An elegant and amusing book, perfect for those who love a clever puzzle’
– Frances Hegarty, Mail on Sunday
‘Iain Pears has a superior line in this kind of tale… A divertingly complex, often comic, story in which the art motif is ingeniously central to the solution’
Guardian
Product Description
The author's third art-based crime novel featuring English art historian Jonathan Argyll, Flavia di Stefano and General Bottando of Rome's Art Theft Squad. A museum's billionaire owner is murdered, a dubious art dealer disappears and a Bernini bust, smuggled out of Italy, is stolen.

Format:Paperback
After the intellectual ferment of _Instance_, I found this book (the only other book of Pears' I've read) a bit of an intellectual let down. It concerns an art dealer and his art-theft squad girlfriend, but their worlds are sparsely described and the characterization a little thin. A light murder mystery for an undemanding read (or perhaps for an undemanding reader).
I would wholeheartedly recommend _Instance_.
Format:Paperback
Instance of the fingerpost and stones fall are brilliant but not to be compared to these detective novels with jonathon argyll. Completely different genre. Just enjoy italy and the two love birds - will they won't they? Not giving it away.
Format:Paperback
Love Iain Pears - have read all the Jonathan Argyle series several times - beautifully set in Italy. A real fun mystery romp!
