I really liked this book in the series after a lukewarm start with the other books. I think I partly liked it so much because I have a fascination for posh people and this kind of satisfied that curiosity. I did think it was a little odd that Sam was so upset with her piece being used tangentially in a murder as it just didn't ring true with the cynical, 'I'm only doing this job for the money because these people are the worst and do not appreciate art' vibe, and yet there was the massive overreaction where the person murdered was pretty much completely glossed over by her feelings about the art.

I also once again felt like Sam got away with far too much research by herself. Guess what, the police don't like civilians interfering in a murder enquiry and they would have done far more to stop her than they did. Also, despite the fact that she almost gets murdered in every book, she still hasn't learnt that's it's probably best to stay out of other people's business.

The next book in this series is super expensive and difficult to get hold of so I'll leave this series here unless the price suddenly comes right down.
