A Death in Cornwall 4 Stars

24th book in the series and I wait with anticipation each summer for the newest tale of Gabriel. There is formula to these books, usually a bad sign-but the characters are so well built so it matters not to me.

As always we are in the world of Art-Gabriel is on the hunt for a Picasso lost stolen during WWII. A character introduced in the very beginning of the series pops up, grown into a man who was slightly molded by Gabriel. This proved very interesting to me, and I am hoping Silva builds on this character in future books. Characters who have been around for a while return and (rarely use spoiler in a review but I must mention this slight spoiler) (view spoiler)[ "the goat" is still around, and still holding a grudge against Gabriel. The interaction between the two is always a load of laughs. I love that goat (hide spoiler)].

Again, Silva does not disappoint- yet another year to wait *sigh*

I only have an hour left on the audio version. I love this series and am happy to see how Gabriel is still out there trying to right some wrongs. And I loved (view spoiler)[ the goat (hide spoiler)].

I still haven’t read any of these. The library doesn’t have e-copies of books 1-9 (and I presume it’s best to start at the beginning?) so I’ll have to go hunting

Oh yes Kate-you must start at the beginning..happy hunting

I think you have to read the first book, at least. It explains Gabriel's history and how that motivates him throughout the series.
