The Artist's Touch by E.J. Russell

dark emotional mysterious medium-paced

5.0

These two are MESSY. I suspect that's why some reviewers had trouble with the story. Each is messy in conflicting ways, and of course they can't talk it out, that'd be ridiculous. That would require letting go of assumptions and presumptions and guilt used as emotional scaffolding! I don't know what it says about me that I followed every convoluted issue without trouble. Probably just that I've read messy characters before and recognized the underlying truths. But the ghost plot, that adds a whole other level that elevates this novel to a solid five stars for me. Well done. Recommended. I will be giving book 2 a try.
