Landscape of Lies

Landscape of Lies

by Peter Watson

Clues to lost treasures once belonging to a monastery in England are hidden in a painting. Its owner and an art dealer interpret the symbols, but a rival is also after the valuables. The real meat of this book is the meaning of the symbols and the research that the hero and heroine conduct to move on to the next clue. As such, it is more cerebral than most mysteries, but not too arcane -- most mystery readers will be rewarded by the book. -- recommended by Rianna S. - Bennett Martin Public Library
