Publisher's Summary:
A year after her husband's death, young widow and art collector Diana Porteous listlessly roams the beach near her home. Her friend and agent Saul takes action, introducing her to his stylish, anarchic sister, Sarah, to pep her up.
They plan that Di should rediscover her talents as a thief, as well as art expert, to recover stolen paintings - and begin with Steven, the neighbour's son, who is amassing works of art in a strange building in London, including work stolen from his mother.
But if Di is interested in his illicit treasures, he is equally fascinated by hers - and in the secrets still held in that house by the sea...

Sloppy
I have always been a great fan of Fyfield and amazed of her twisted stories and deep psychological insights. She stands out for me because she leads you to places where you would never think to end when you start her books. After such a long pause since her last books, I was thus thrilled to see, that new one are coming out. However, I felt more and more disappointed and even a certain unease because of the sloppiness of this one. So many sentences that want to hook you up with unsaid things. Which could be interesting, but here it is not, you are left with the impression, that the author just forgot that thread or is advertising for her next book. All this turning round and round about art and hair and clothes. Especially about art : the statements SEEM intelligent and profound at first view, but are simply not (" paintings in oil always hypnotised", what kind of nonsense is that?). Or the ridiculous romanticised way these people work with paintings. Being in the business for 24 years, I have never read something so silly. It might be the same with the clothes and hair, but I don't know about these.
And in the end, we get a glimpse for a whole pile of future books about a gang liberating art "dying" in basements (PLEASE DON'T). Has this woman ever heard about temporary exhibitions, temporary and permanent loans? Has she ever been in the storage of a museum to see all the uninspired and uninspiring stuff stuck there?
