The Art of Murder by Rebecca Muddiman
4.0
It’s the first time I have read this author and I got into this book straight away. I quite enjoyed this story and it flowed well, just feel it was a bit rushed at the end. Lots of detailed description, leads you to feel part of the story.
Detective Nick Kelly receives a call to attend a crime scene where a murder has taken place. The body has been posed in front of a backing picture and it turns out to be a picture done by a famous painter. Dan had googled it to find out before Nick had arrived. Was there a connection between this and the other murders?
Meanwhile Karen and Nick are finding it hard living in the same flat together while they are getting a divorce. Neither can afford separate accommodation so are awaiting the outcome of the court’s decision to see who has to move out. Nick still hasn’t told his parents the truth and so far Karen has played along but now she has had enough. Nick has to pick up the pieces with his distraught parents while still trying to find a serial killer.
This is a good read, along the lines of Columbo where you know the killer but the police have to work out the who and the why. I read this in one day and found it hard to put down as I wanted to keep reading it. It was an interesting story line, something different and I will be looking at reading some of the author’s other books too.
