About The Incomplete Artist
An evening at the art gallery… The clinking
of wine glasses… The hopeful thrill of a first date… But someone has murder on
their mind!
All that Detective Ashley Westgard wanted
was a night off—and maybe a little romance later on. But when a body is discovered
during an event with dozens of wealthy art collectors in attendance, her fairy
tale dream turns into a nightmare for everyone. Now Ash must put her hopes on
hold, flash her police badge, and take control of the crime scene…
This is Book Two of the Ashley Westgard
series, but was written as a standalone story.
Praise for The Incomplete Artist
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The tone of this story is cerebral and
thought-provoking. Ash’s investigation is also a journey through the philosophy
of art with characters discussing its history and motivations, its wants and
needs, past, present, and future….The work itself has its own magic for Ash,
and she kicks the glamour to the curb and gets back to business, which is where
the book shines – a character-driven, police procedural in a futuristic
society. Extract from Amazon Review
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Here’s an entertaining premise that would
have delighted Agatha Christie – a murder in a private Art Exhibition with 100
guests: as nicely hermetic as one of her house-party murders, but ten times as
many suspects, and a crime scene impossible to secure…Our clever detective,
however, is (dare I say it?) rather more attractive than Miss Marples, a lot
more sexy and very much less smug…. This well constructed book has all the
right components for a cosy mystery, including the pleasure of reading the book
twice, to pick up the clues you missed the first time round. Do this – the
pleasure is well worth it, and the artists and their art are even more vivid on
a second encounter. . Extract from Goodreads Review
About the Author
Philip Wyeth’s writing is imaginative and
intense! His fully immersive speculative stories explore what might happen if
people actually got everything they say they wanted—politically,
technologically, or socially. Relatable characters, polished prose, and
outrageous spectacles ensure that readers are entertained along the way, no
matter how high-concept the ideas being explored are.
Inspired by such unique writers as Heinrich
von Kleist, Ambrose Bierce, Joseph Conrad, and Len Deighton, Wyeth’s explosive
novels will resonate with fans of Philip K. Dick, Harry Harrison, Robert
Sheckley, George Orwell, Michel Houellebecq, and Neal Stephenson.
His seven novels are featured on his
website and include another book in the Ashley Westgard series, Hot Ash and the
Oasis Defect. That novel includes rather more sex and murder than the current
one and is free both as an e-book on Amazon, and as an audiobook on YouTube.
Also a lifelong fan of heavy metal music
and its many sub-genres, Philip strives to infuse his work with comparable
levels of independence and larger-than-life visions.
Originally from Northern Virginia, Philip
has lived in the Los Angeles area for many years. He’s an entrepreneur,
musician, film aficionado, hockey fan, and enjoys playing tennis and golf.
