When Tia reluctantly agrees to look after Bindu, her peevish, grumpy granddaughter, during half term, the last thing that she expects is to spend the week unravelling the theft of a seventeenth century painting Head of a Girl, ‘Hedova’.
Hoping to start a new and more exciting life, Robert sets himself up as an art thief. His first target? A picture from the Whitler Gallery, where Tia and her recently widowed colleague Douglas work.
Follow Douglas and Tia, an unlikely detective duo, as they investigate the theft and race frantically across the city to prevent the painting from being destroyed. Can Robert prove that he’s got what it takes to embark on a life of crime? And can Tia and Douglas save Hedova?
What’s Going on at The Whitler? is a gentle detective story with elements of humour and fantasy, all punctuated by commentary from a Greek chorus of talking portraits for a unique twist.
Here's what readers have to say about this book....
I really enjoyed this book. An interesting plot and believable characters. I particularly enjoyed the relationship between the grandmother and her granddaughter. The conversations between the pictures (echoed from a previous book) are a clever device.
A gripping story with interesting characters. The suspense is built up very effectively and the ending comes as a huge surprise to the reader.
Entertaining, and different. Look forward to reading further adventures with this unusual detective duo!
I read this cleverly plotted and beautifully written book in two sittings. It is a pleasure to spend time in the company of Mukherjee's characters, and the book contains unexpected touches of fantasy that add to its appeal.
Cleverly written, a book with wide appeal. Intriguing and very entertaining.
