S'està carregant… The Flanders Panel (1990)de Arturo Pérez-Reverte
  
No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra. Fascinating and cleverly constructed mystery. An art restorer, Julia, while restoring a picture by a Renaissance Flemish artist uncovers a heretofore hidden inscription on the painting, and that leads her to investigate that mystery of a possible murder, the painter giving clues through a chess game depicted in the painting. She enlists the help of an old friend, the father-figure, Cesar, an antiques dealer and a chess savant. There are two murders of two people close to Julia and she feels she herself is in danger. (  ) janerawoof | Sep 29, 2023 |  I'm conflicted about this book. Most of it was SO GOOD but the ending was absolutely awful. How should one feel? Is the journey more important than the destination? From there it got even worse. I despise when mystery writers resort to having the villain or detective walk us back through the book, explaining who how why at each twist and turn. It is just so corny! Lazy! Shame shame shame. And not only did this eye-roll of a scene exist, but the author DRAGGED IT OUT. Two full pages describing how the killer puts out one cigarette and lights another one during his confession - give me a fucking break. Just end it already, put us out of our misery. The biggest sin, however, is that the plot just doesn't make sense. Cesar has some disillusioning episode involving chess, and then seeing this painting triggers him to go on a killing spree? What about the mystery in the painting, about the duke and duchess and knight - all we get are Julia's weird drunken fantasies? Hugely disappointing.

A fifteenth-century painting by a Flemish master is about to be auctioned when Julia, a young art restorer, discovers a peculiar inscription hidden in a corner: Who killed the knight? In the painting, the Duke of Flanders and his knight are locked in a game of chess, and a dark lady lurks mysteriously in the background. Julia is determined to solve the five-hundred-year-old murder, but as she begins to look for clues, several of her friends in the art world are brutally murdered in quick succession. Messages left with the bodies suggest a crucial connection between the chess game in the painting, the knight's murder, the sordid underside of the contemporary art world, and the latest deaths. Just when all of the players in the mystery seem to be pawns themselves, events race toward a shocking conclusion. A thriller like no other, The Flanders Panel presents a tantalizing puzzle for any connoisseur of mystery, chess, art, and history. No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |
