The Book Artist
The Book Artist: A Hugo Marston Novel | Mark Pryor
7 posts | 4 read | 3 to read
Hugo Marston, head of security for the U.S. Embassy in Paris, puts his life in danger when he investigates the murder of a celebrated artist, all the while fending off an assassin looking to settle an old score against him. Hugo Marston accompanies his boss, US Ambassador J. Bradford Taylor, to the first night of an art exhibition in Montmartre, Paris. Hugo is less than happy about going until he finds out that the sculptures on display are made from his favorite medium: books. Soon after the champagne starts to flow and the canapes are served, the night takes a deadly turn when one of the guests is found dead. As if being murdered at an art show weren't bizarre enough, the killer has theatrically displayed the body among the exhibits, just yards away from everyone. Paris detective Camille Lerens asks former FBI agent Hugo to stay at the crime scene and use his profiling expertise to help solve the murder. Very quickly, he discovers that someone at the party has a false identity, and not everyone there that night was invited. While Hugo is unraveling this mystery at the museum, his best friend Tom Green appears on Hugo's doorstep battered and bleeding, a barely-living message from an old enemy who has revenge in his heart and a target on Hugo's back. With a murder to solve and his own life in danger, Hugo knows he has no time to waste as one killer tries to slip away, and another gets closer and closer.

Didn‘t realize this was part of a series. Enjoyable read combining Paris, food, and art made from books. Not the most complex mystery, but it was well paced, and the characters and dialogue kept things moving.

I love how we get introduced to Hugh and his interests right from the beginning. His passion for books convinces him to attend an event where the sculptures are made from books. Then a murder occurs and Hugh has to use his wits to prove the police have the wrong person locked up.

This woman uses her books to create elaborate scenes for Instagram. They are pretty impressive!

I‘ve been slacking on my book reviews; so today I took a few books and my computer and got some concentrated writing done at the library! I love working at the library, because I focus well there. (Well, and I hate the smell of coffee. So Starbucks is out. 😂) How about you?

MaGoose I love using the library, too. I need to get moving on my reviews, also. Guess I'll be sitting in the library on Monday and Tuesday... 6y

We had leftover crêpes from dinner last night, and Noel sautéed up some bananas, and brought me breakfast in bed! He and the girls are watching Elf (which I hate), so I‘m just gonna keep reading here in bed! ?
