Summary
A work of art. A mysterious number. A secret worth killing for.
When reclusive artist Gabriel Quinn is gunned down outside a gallery on Oxford High Street, Detective Inspector Bridget Hart investigates the world of contemporary art, where paintings can change hands for millions in the auction room.
Bridget is convinced that the last words spoken by the artist - a mysterious code of eight digits and a letter - are key to unraveling the mystery of his death.
But when her ex-husband, Ben, now a senior detective with the Metropolitan Police in London, shows up with new information about the murdered man, Bridget's personal and professional lives are brought crashing together with dramatic consequences.

Interesting
Complex and compelling to the end. An interesting insight to the art world and its scope for forgery.

Gripping
A gripping tale which was narrated really well. Developing characters that I’m starting to care about

I like Bridget Hart as a character and think that the relationship with her daughter Chloe was really well done. i live in Oxford and liked hearing about all the Oxford landmarks that were described in the book, these were described accurately and without the need to make anything up which has annoyed me in other Oxford based series. I thought that Ffion was a pretty good character as well. the narration was pretty good this time as well, especially the character voices.
My big criticism was that I wasn't sure that in a real police investigation her ex husband would have been able to jump into the case the way he did. I'm sure that similar things have happened but in many workplaces relationships between staff are discouraged altogether and there could have been more explanation from the Super as to why this was considered ok. the same goes for one of the suspects on the case, I thought in such cases, where they knew the suspect, police officers were supposed to excuse themselves from the inquiry. although I am prepared to believe this doesn't always happen I think there should have been more discussion of this as the fact she remained on the case remained surprising to me, she was a competent and professional police officer otherwise.

Unusual subject
Enjoyable and interesting ideas particularly the link between maths and art.
It’s was a bit ‘staged’ at the end. Likeable characters.
Like other listeners, I find some of the voices irritating and with unrealistic accents.

Uninspiring
I didn’t enjoy the end. It was very dull. I didn’t like the narrators voice when she did the young girl made me cringe

Very enjoyable audio
Best book I’ve listened to in a long while. I’ve been putting it on at every opportunity, and now I’m looking forward to the next in the series.

Painting by Numbers
A second splendid murder mystery set in Oxford and making meticulous use of city landmarks. Much teasing of the reader, as M.S. Morris develops the relationships between the major characters! Again, the reading was delightfully sympathetic.

Good story and well narrated
Good story, well narrated. Echoes of Morse - an Oxford alumna, likes classical music and has a northern sergeant. Looking forward to listening to the next book.

enjoyable
although not brilliant, edge of your seat excellence, it was good and fun with underlying tones of futility
