DIRTY LINEN is a very entertaining mystery novel about, of all people, the British painter Joseph Mallord William Turner....Unlike the caricatures that inhabit most mystery fiction, these are people you wouldn't mind having dinner with....[Kilmer's] off-the-cuff observations and tight dialogue make DIRTY LINEN a pleasure for both mind and ear....It's not every day you get a mystery that doesn't feel like you've already read it.
