4.0

The first part of the book is slow, but dang when I got to the part based in present-day, I flew through the book. Wanting to know what was going to happen, thinking about what I would do if I were in the same situation and being asked to return a painting that was likely taken during wartimes… this book really makes you think “what would I do?” and “would I be right?” I liked it. Wanted more after it ended!!! Perhaps a sequel?
