If museum trips bore you and art is of no interest whatsoever, this isn't the mystery for you. But if a week in Rome is your idea of heaven and you'd be enthralled by the paintings, the churches, and the dining, this is a mystery you've been waiting to read. It has all the classic whodunit elements, the story moves quickly, and the information about the science of art forgery, painlessly revealed, is fascinating. The characters introduced are charming and quirky not the cliches many mystery authors indulge in. It's not surprising this became a popular series for Iain Pears.
