    The suspense is great! The characters are interesting. The knowledge of the art world is true and funny. His style is unique-a combination of intelligence and humor. I loved this book

    DOWN RIVER is an intelligent, beautifully composed mystery. Salisbury, NC should have a literary tour. I am eager for the next John Hart book to be published!
