Kamieniołom Cezanne'a (2008) - Plot & Excerpts

I picked this up because I really like Cezanne's paintings. It was a good, solid mystery--police procedural meets historical mystery. A young woman is brutally murdered in a stone quarry. An Englishman, follower of Darwin, and Paul Cezanne, the painter, are suspects. At first, the young judge protagonist, Bernard Martin, thinks the murder is a straightforward crime of passion, but it turns out to be more. This novel gave a good depiction of Provence and its customs in the late 19th century. It was a very quick read. Solange is discovered strangled at the bottom of a quarry. Was it her lover, Charles Westbury, a Darwinian scholar and geologist? Did the artist Cezanne strangle her in a fit of jealousy? Or could there be another cause to Solange’s demise. Bernard is being pressured to find the truth quick! The paintings mentioned in the books are Cezanne’s real work. Pope skillfully blends the worlds of art and science in this captivating first in the series.
