I really want to give this a five because I loved this book so much. However after reading some other reviews I would agree it is a bit of a slow read but I would go as far as to say that there was unnecessary chapters. Sure some seem a little redundant but if you delve into the meaning (especially looking back after finishing) I feel every word in this book has meaning. 
As I would reading I couldn’t help but think of how amazing this would be as a play. Anyway this was a great read and I kept wanting to read it without it feeling like a chore to finish. 
Definitely recommend especially for my art lovers

Interesting premise. Did a little too much telling and not enough showing. Interesting twist at end and brought the mood up with “epilogue.”

The best thriller I've read in a long time. Felt like a grown-up Westing Game. Especially delightful if you're interested in art.
