It was cute, a cozy quick mystery. A little too much unnecessary dialogue for my taste but I absolutely see how the author was trying to use that to express their vision for the character

I would not recommend you to read this book unless you have studied art history. It is well researched and informative. Captures some historical drama and influences on the artist’s careers that Is entertaining. I recommend having a computer near by to look up paintings referenced in the book that are not printed on the pages
