Description
When the Santa Barbara art museum unveils its newest acquisition, the long-lost masterpiece by Dante Gabriel Rossetti isn't the only surprise behind the red curtain - so is the museum's curator. Dead. The case has everything Shawn likes: it's bizarre, it's baffling and there's a snack bar at the crime scene. But the investigation gets a lot less fun as he and Gus begin to realise that the clues are leading them towards a centuries-old cabal desperate to hide a terrible secret and more than willing to kill the two detectives who are trying to reveal it.

I liked this story for three reasons;
1. I heart Psych
2. This plot deals with my line of work, museums.
3. It made fun of Dan Brown's crappy, overrated novels.
This plot is outlandish. It calls for a severe case of temporary suspension of disbelief, and simply wouldn't work as part of the TV series.

However, as a parody and novelization, it was great. Show Less
