Elizabeth Lowell books are obviously fairly formulaic but I still find them to be an enjoyable quick read. I think her books are at their best when they are part of a series so she has a chance to develop the characters and story a bit more. I especially like her series that deal with rare artifacts. This series is one of hers that I think works the best. I enjoyed this 3rd book in Elizabeth Lowell’s Rarities series the best so far. Lacey Quinn believes that her grandfather was a magnificent painter after she inherits a number of landscapes he painted and some others that are very disturbing which she calls the Death Series. When a prominent artist comes to town and offers to appraise paintings that people in the community bring her (rather like an “Antiques Roadshow”), Lacey decides to bring 3 of her grandfather’s paintings. Susa (the artist) loves the paintings which are very similar to the style of an artist who died many years ago and wants to know more. She also has a bodyguard Ian who would like to get to know Lacey. The mystery of the paintings (and what they are about) develops gradually in the book. There is some cute repartee between Ian and Lacey which had me smiling. If I had a disappointment in the book, it was in how fast the author seemed to wrap things up at the end. I thought it could have had a few more details – almost like there was a page quota and she ran out of room and had to jam everything in. Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya

Die in Plain Sight is an extremely good suspense story with an interesting mystery. The beginning of the book is a little hard to follow because there are so many characters, but after it becomes clear how each one fits into the story, it is much easier to track them as they become suspects or participants in this mystery. Intertwined clues and action scenes make it easy to remain interested in the book from beginning to end. A very enjoyable read. ( )
