Review
“Pears has a whimsical take on the scruples of the art trade, on English food and plumbing and on Italian bureaucracy...A sweet, art world ‘cozy.’”—San Jose Mercury News
“Art, crime, and Italy mix well...Pears masterfully juggles his plot elements while providing delightful diversion in the contrasting manners of his English and Italian characters.”—Booklist
“Fine art, quirky characters and scenes set in Rome and an English country village add to the joys of Giotto’s Hand...A neat twist at the end is the cherry on this fudge sundae of a mystery.”—Minneapolis Star Tribune
