Product Description
Teenager Lewis Hoxworthy discovers a disturbing painting in a medieval barn that excites archaeologist Neil Watson, who is excavating an ancient manor house nearby. When former rock star Jonny Shellmer is found shot in the head in Lewis's father's field and Lewis himself goes missing after contacting a man on the internet, Detective Sergeant Wesley Peterson suddenly faces one of his most intriguing cases yet. Is Jonny's death linked to Lewis's disappearance? And does Jonny's best-known song, "Angel," contain a clue? It soon becomes clear to Neil that the painting—a portrayal of hell and judgment more than half a millennium old—holds the key to the mystery. As events reach a terrifying climax, Wesley has to act swiftly in order to save a young life.

Well done,
By Auntie Annie - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: A Painted Doom (Paperback)
Another in the Wesley Peterson series by Kate Ellis, this title continues following the life and work of DI Peterson, his co-workers, family and friends--especially archeologist Neil Watson. The characterization in these books is strong, and Ellis gives us enough of the personal lives of the characters that we are invested in them. All told, a well plotted, well written series.

Murder and the last judgement,
By Damaskcat - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: A Painted Doom (Paperback)
A Medieval painting of the last judgement - commonly known as a `doom' - is found in a barn close to where Neil Watson is excavating the ruins of a manor house. The body of a dead former rock star is found on the same farmer's land which gives DI Wesley Peterson an excuse to visit his friend Neil and see how he is getting on with his excavations. A teenage boy - son of the farmer on whose land the rock star's body was discovered - disappears. Wesley is concerned he may have seen the murderer and so could be in danger.This is a complicated plot with plenty of twists and turns to mislead both the police and the reader before all is resolved. I thought the intertwining of the distant past, the not so distant past and the present was well done and never laboured. I like the police characters and the way their characters are developing during this series. Wesley's long suffering wife, Pamela, is well done too. While there are some tensions between the police characters they mainly get on well and work together. I would recommend this series to anyone who likes their crime novels to have an element of history in them and the series can be read out of order though it is interesting to see the relationships developing if you read the books in sequence. |
