review 1: Another good story by Coleman, who's not worried about the passing years, the aging of his hero and the ghosts that will haunt him for the rest of his life. It's a very good mystery that maybe worthed some more in my rating but I didn't like some major coincidences in the plot that help Moe to meet a woman, to solve the mystery, to save his life. These facts might have been plotted in a more credible way without touching the structure of the novel. Anyway, for Prager's serie more than others, to read it not in order takes away 90% of the thrill (and still I wonder how someone could ever read a serie not in order)
review 2: I really, really enjoyed this book. I purchased it after another book was recommended for me on Amazon, and I just wasn't interested in th
... moreat book, but THIS one was in the related titles. I have been looking for a good replacement for Lehane's Kenzie and Gennaro books, and had yet to find such well done mysteries again. I haven't read anything else by Coleman yet, but based off of this introduction to the Moe Prager universe, I think I've got a (potential) live one. And for the first time ever, I DID NOT SEE THE REVEAL COMING, AT ALL. I didn't think it could be done! So, thanks for writing a book that doesn't drop too many clues, yet doesn't take the reader off on bizarre tangents or slap you repeatedly with red herrings. A solid, exciting, well written story with a multifaceted, believable character. Spot fucking on. less

Another good book by Coleman although others have been better. I've read this book before.

Didn't really grab me. I may go back to it some day, but if so, it will be a do over.

A very deft recovery, although more than a bit mean-spirited about the art world.

I found the author's concept of an "innocent monster" intriguing.
