"The beak arrive in the double-act form of DCI Thistlethwaite and DC Quant. They lock down the estate, along with its bohemian guests: Salvador Dali, Max Ernst, Man Ray, performance artist Sheila Legge and the American war photographer Lee Miller."
"Each crime pays twisted homage to the masterpieces of the artists present, who are also suspects. The title is a nod to another famous Magritte painting, The Treachery of Images, or The Pipe One to you and me."
"Magritte is driven to uncover the murderer, as psychic compensation for his mother's death when he was a child. That actually happened."
This Is Not a Murder Mystery is a Flemish series set in 1936, featuring an English aristocrat hosting a surrealist art show.

DCI Thistlethwaite and DC Quant investigate, locking down the estate with its bohemian guests, including Salvador Dali and Max Ernst. Magritte seeks to clear his name while uncovering the murderer, blending fact and fantasy with real surrealist works and character lore.
