A review by appalonia
Madonna and Corpse by Jefferson Bass, William M. Bass, Jon Jefferson
4.0
I really loved this short story and the preview to Jefferson Bass's new book. The short story involves a French police investigator who responds to a robbery at an art museum, only to find out the thief had actually added a painting -- a painting that is an exact copy of the one displayed at the museum.
The story's opening and the character of Inspector René Descartes drew me immediately into the story. I enjoyed reading the Inspector's thoughts about art, how he allowed his mind to open and gained an appreciation of the paintings. In the beginning I was thrown a little when I realized the story wasn't going to include Bill Brockton (at least, not yet). But I enjoyed the Inspector and after reading the preview of The Inquisitor's Key I am really looking forward to reading it!
