I'd read the first of this mystery series and liked it, ordered a few others to have on hand, but relying on the negative reviews, did not immediately order this one. However, after I'd gotten thoroughly hooked on a series which features a wonderful cast of characters (who begin to feel like family), colorfully described European locations (which become as familiar as home), most engrossingly complex plots, excellent depth of description in art history and the superbly subtle and witty writing talents of Mr. Pears, I decided I couldn't miss this one, and I'm so glad for that decision. While it does deviate a bit from the genre conventions previously established in that it is more political than art history...I found its exploration of moral complexities and struggles of conscience, highlighted against a WWII background, quite absorbing. It has left thoughts that stay with me, given me some bones to chew on after I've finished reading. For that I enjoyed the book tremendously. And, for those who have become fans of the series, it develops and grows the characters--Flavia, Argyle and some of the lesser characters as well--in ways you won't want to miss. I'm glad that the author feels free to vary his efforts rather than writing endless versions of the same thing. Ian Pears marries an educated mind with a great wit and emerges with some of the best books I've found. His is a rare talent in these superficial times. I look forward to reading whatever he writes. ### ⭐⭐⭐ False Judgment *by C***E on October 7, 2018* (Spoiler alert)The book was fun to read, slower in parts but surprised me at the end. However, it was unsatisfying to see deceptions about war crimes revealed and then buried again. I don't think it helps anyone to have public myths perpetuated. Whatever the upheaval or pain caused by revealing old secrets, I think it's always worse not to learn from the truth. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A painting connects seemingly unconnected murders. *by L***L on October 2, 2013* Fourth in the series of Jonathan Argyll and Flavia di Stefano mysteries based in Rome's Art Theft Squad. People are murdered and the only thing that links them is a painting looted during the Nazi occupation of Paris. But after several examinations, nothing about the painting suggests a reason why someone is killing to get hold of it. As expected with this series, the plot is complex and hinges on understanding not just human nature but also the way a paintings travels through time and the hands of many owners. Highly recommended for those who like an intricate plot and engaging sleuths. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/146383154-the-last-judgement-art-history-mystery-paperback-december-3-2002](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/146383154-the-last-judgement-art-history-mystery-paperback-december-3-2002) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-06-20*
