About this listen

The shockingly audacious conclusion to the international best-selling phenomenon that began with Maestra.

If you can't beat them - kill them.

Glamorous international art dealer Elizabeth Teerlinc knows a thing or two about fakes. After all, she is one herself. Her real identity, Judith Rashleigh, is buried under a layer of lies. Not to mention the corpses of the men foolish enough to get in her way. But now, caught in the murderous crossfire between a Russian Mafia boss and a corrupt Italian police detective, Judith is forced to create an even more daring work of art - a fake masterpiece she must take to the world-famous auction house where she used to be a lowly assistant and sell for $150 million.

For Judith the prospect of putting one over on her loathsome former employer and the world's art establishment is almost as thrilling as the extreme sex she's addicted to - especially when the price of failure is a bullet in the back of the head. But exposing her new identity to the glare of the spotlight puts her at risk of an even greater danger. Like a beautiful painting stripped of its layers of varnish, something altogether different could be revealed. A truth about her past even Judith might find shocking.

I love this woman's mind. There is a strong generation of writers at work writing darkly funny, sexy, horrifying and thrilling novels, and L.S. Hilton is certainly one.
This final instalment contains less death and sex than we have come to know, which is counter-intuitive for a climax piece, but the twists were good. The action was often a bit hard to follow, difficult to visualise what was in the mind of the writer. It's something I feel L.S. needs to work on.
I am going to miss the vicarious living of glamour, wealth, travel, and fine food.
Mixed feelings on the end. I almost never find myself satisfied by the strange choices an author makes for those final pages... It's possible the author is just a little too clever for me there, which is a double-edged sword, because that rapier mind is exactly what I love her for.

A fun conclusion

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
I didn't enjoy it as much as the first two books. There was more description and less storyline

A little disappointed
