Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
The 11th outing (after The Burning Ground) for Tim Simpson, art investor for a London bank, quickly moves past the puerile upper-class English drunken shenanigans of the first chapter. Tim is dispatched to the Norfolk countryside where a once-wealthy family is forced to sell its art collection, which features horses. At the same time, a dealer friend, who had sent Tim a cryptic note (also with equine elements), is murdered; Tim and the gendarmes are less than thrilled to discover the dead man's photographic record of his past sexual adventures. Identifying the participating women is child's play?they keep popping up in the art-selling family. At one point, Tim's wife bemoans the preponderance of horse paintings. Distracted readers may well concur, and perhaps also add a complaint or two concerning the plethora of overlapping biographies of horse painters. But the plot tightens its focus when a woman drowns and a bomb is attached to the underside of Simpson's Jag. The novel's taut ending is a thing of beauty.
