The Art of Murder by Matthew Costello and Neil RichardsSynopsis: “Just outside Mydworth, hidden by the river’s curve, stands Chilton House – home and weekend refuge to a famous modern artist and his bohemian circle from London. Their visits bring laughter, music, and whispers of scandal to the countryside.
Then one summer night, a celebration turns dark. When tragedy follows, Kat and Harry are drawn into a maze of jealousy and dangerous secrets – where art and ambition can prove a deadly mix.“

My Review

I really do love this series, and this is another fab mystery for Harry and Kat.

This is book 19, and this time the story is set in Mydworth. Harry is tasked by his Aunt Lavinia to be the auctioneer at a charity event at the Manor, full of art from the infamous Chilton House group of artists. The auction goes well, until the police arrive at the end announcing that one of the artists has been found drowned in the local river. And so begins the latest murder mystery for Harry and Kat to solve.

I really enjoyed this mystery, it was very good, full of lots of suspicious characters, just like an Agatha Christie story. So many people had motives and were acting suspiciously throughout, that I didn’t have a clue who the murderer was, at all.

As always Nathaniel Parker’s narration was perfect. I loved all the voices he used for the different characters, he truly is the voice of  this series.

Highly recommended on audio if you enjoy historical cosy mysteries.
