🕵️ Mystery
The Flanders Panel
📖 Synopsis
A Flemish painting hides a 15th-century crime that repeats in the present, with chess as the key. Elegant intrigue.
✍️ ChatZona's review
Pérez-Reverte plays on multiple levels: the mystery thriller with the Flemish painting, the chess tournament as a parallel structure, the art restorer as an unusual protagonist. Everything fits with calculated elegance. It is not his most ambitious novel but one of his best-constructed: the mechanism never creaks. Ideal for readers who enjoy intellectual mystery with a flavour of Umberto Eco but at a faster pace.
