Anyone interested in reading an entertaining historical crime novel set in 1890s France, featuring Impressionist painters, Decadent poets and British royalty?

It’s apparently a brand new series of The Repair Shop – although regular viewers can be forgiven for not noticing. The heirloom-fixing show has been filling its weekly Wednesday night slot since January and it’s all a bit confusing where one series ends and another begins. Or perhaps that’s just me. Either way, it seems the previous series required a spot of restoration itself to remove the presence of the show’s fallen star: Jay Blades.
