"Madonna and Corpse"--This is one of the best reads as a prequel. A delectable appetizer to the grand entree' that lies ahead! This work is about 44 pages in length, and then it is followed by a bonus excerpt of "The Inquisitor's Key". It is a story that pulls you in and prepares you for the adventure ahead. This telling is a way for the narrative to embody your mind in the twists and turns of a story that truly comes to life. The author engages the reader in a museum curators’ misplaced trust in an art restorator which flows in surprising turns of events. "Madonna and Corpse" is well researched in facts, as are all 'The Body Farm Novels', but it is indulged in embellishments that keep the reader eagerly turning the pages striving to find out what is going to happen next! You don’t want to miss this or any other of the Jefferson Bass collection. This one is definitely worth reading! Infact, these books can be considered, “addictive”, but only in the best way! Enjoy! I really loved this short story and the preview to Jefferson Bass's new book. The short story involves a French police investigator who responds to a robbery at an art museum, only to find out the thief had actually added a painting -- a painting that is an exact copy of the one displayed at the museum.The story's opening and the character of Inspector René Descartes drew me immediately into the story. I enjoyed reading the Inspector's thoughts about art, how he allowed his mind to open and gained an appreciation of the paintings. In the beginning I was thrown a little when I realized the story wasn't going to include Bill Brockton (at least, not yet). But I enjoyed the Inspector and after reading the preview of The Inquisitor's Key I am really looking forward to reading it!
What do You think about Madonna And Corpse (2012)?
A deviation, but a good one which acts as a prequel for The Inquisitor's Key. Fun!
