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.

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

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

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

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

"Melancholia."
Having lived for over three decades of my adult life in Oxford and still visiting the four families I left behind, I am very fond of reading books set in the City and it's surrounds. Some are dreadful. This one, not so bad. The characters do have a certain life of their own and the plot, apart from the intrusion of the ex husband part way through, is interesting if somewhat predictable, sufficient to keep this reader listening without mentally pining for the ending to arrive. The narrator, Esther Wane, had a pleasantly modulated voice, attempting to give individual differences to the conversation of separate protagonists even if one of the speakers sounded more from the West Country than Oxfordshire, an easy mistake. But, please, if telling the story set in a well known location, learn how to pronounce the place names before reading them allowed: not all are straightforward (for example, Wytham is not 'With them' but 'White ham'.
My thanks to.The Audible Plus programme, from which I downloaded this book for free
