描述

Art critic Jeremy Grove's shocking death sends ripples through the art world, leaving both admiration and suspicion in his wake. With his lifeless body discovered in an alarming state—his face locked in an expression of pure terror—detectives are drawn into a perplexing investigation that mixes the high-stakes atmosphere of the art scene with the darker undercurrents of human ambition and deceit.

As the investigation unfolds, the chilling details surrounding Grove's demise begin to emerge. His reputation as a fierce critic had made him many enemies among artists and collectors alike, suggesting that his death could be a calculated act of revenge. It becomes evident that Grove may have stumbled upon secrets that someone was willing to kill to protect—secrets that intertwine art, greed, and deep-seated jealousy in a deadly game.

The deeper they dig, the more complex the web becomes, revealing hidden alliances and dangerous manipulations. With every new clue, the atmosphere thickens, teasing the boundaries between genius and madness. The urgency to uncover the truth intensifies, ensnaring all those involved in a narrative that challenges perceptions of art and mortality.

The villain in this has caused Umbridge-levels of rage in me. It is remarkably impressive. I was shouting at them during the audiobook. My dog was concerned.This feels like (and judging from the fact that it's listed as two separate series here on Goodreads, probably is) the start of an arc in the series. I'm going to have to see if the library has the next one, because I really need to know what happens next. This starts out feeling like the previous books with a monster-of-the-week vibe, but expands into something a bit bigger. I've been enjoying them so far, but this is starting to feel more like a long-running story and I love the point where a series turns into that. I'm getting remarkably fond of Pendergast, too. At first I was pleased he seemed able to see things clearly and get mysteries solved, but in the last few books I've been rather devoted to him and his mysteries and his uncanny knowledge of things.
