This would be the sixth Lara McClintoch book, and I would go as far as to say possibly the best in the series so far, it has just the right mix of all the required elements in a good mystery novel.

It takes us initially into the orbit of a reclusive billionaire who hires Lara to track down a rare bronze statue, however upon following up the leads Lara finds the statue is a fake and it's here where things begin to get messy and the eccentric owner of said statue turns up dead.

Worth having a look at if you were interested in the earlier novels but turned off by the pace or structure of them as both are vastly improved here. ( )

Didn't really like the first two books of this series but I stayed with it because of the archaeology plots and I found the series got better. ( )
