The Art of Violence

Artist. I’m a newcomer to the Lydia Chin and Bill Smith mystery series by S.J. Rozan, so I’ve probably missed a lot of the color contained within the novel titled, The Art of Violence. Since I enjoyed the novel, let’s assume that it can stand alone for those who haven’t read other books in this series and fans of the series may find additional reasons to like it. A serial killer has been attacking women in New York City’s contemporary art scene. Lydia and Bill have been called in to look for answers, while the bodies continue to pile up. An artist can’t remember whether he committed these murders or not. Meeting this quirky artist in print is one good reason to give this mystery your time.
