My novel about the great Italian artist Caravaggio A Name in Blood won't be out in the UK until July 1. Still the review copies are out there and the It's a Crime blog gets in first with a very positive mention.

A Name in Blood is a superb tale of intrigue and wrong doing in Renaissance Italy from Matt Rees, author of the award winning Omar Yussef crime series.

There's also love and art in the novel. But I'm happy for a crime blog to pick up on the intrigue and wrong doing!
