In the third of the Franklin mysteries set in mid-18th century London, the Philadelphia luminary is approached by a distraught lady. A diamond provided for a portrait disappears. She seeks help in recovering the diamond even as the artist puts her off. Murder, of course, follows. Another entertaining story in this series, enlisting Franklin as an amateur sleuth in London, when cops were simply local watchmen unequipped and often unwilling to investigate complicated crime and when Franklin was being stalled by the heirs of William Penn who were refusing to allow themselves, as proprietors of the colony Franklin represented, to be taxed. Lots of fun to be had as Franklin pursues his crime-fighting pastime. ( ) Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya

"Lord Shenstone has insisted that Cavitty, a local artist, paint a portrait of his wife prominently displaying the famous Shenstone diamond. Lady Shenstone leaves the coveted family heirloom with Cavitty so he can study it for the painting, but when she returns to retrieve it, Cavitty claims that he does not know what has become of it." "Desperate to find the diamond and not let her husband know of its absence, Lady Shenstone turns to Benjamin Franklin, the American investigator working abroad in eighteenth-century London. Franklin delves into the case, coming across many eccentric characters from whom he must discover the truth of the diamond's whereabouts." "The latest in the Ben Franklin series, A Case of Artful Murder is narrated by Franklin's apprentice, Nick Handy. Though Nick is only thirteen years old, his resourcefulness and astute intuition serve Franklin well as they land him a job in Cavitty's studio. There he must remain undercover as he witnesses forgeries, murder, and even a taste of romance."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
