Vermeer to Eternity is a short story written by Anthony Horowitz. It was published in 2015. I am quite obsessed with Mr. Horowitz’s writing. The detailed descriptions and character studies, the very devious plots, the first person narratives. Vermeer to Eternity - what a great title! Mr. Horowitz is known for his mysteries and screenplays. I wouldn’t call this particular story a mystery - more of a quirky character study or puzzle. It was a very enjoyable (and short) read. And I learned a bit about Vermeer and his painting techniques. ***** This story offers further evidence, if any were needed, of Anthony Horowitz’s boundless flexibility. It revolves around the issue of whether a painting given to a lawyer by a wealthy French family might be a genuine Vermeer. As usual. Horowitz demonstrates his characteristic attention to detail having clearly researched Vermeer’s works deeply. The story also shows his customary mastery of misdirection. I was completely thrown by the eventual denouement here. Very amusing and very entertaining. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

This is a 27 page short story, a kindle single. It’s actually an over-long shaggy dog story that’s told to justify the pun of the title. I enjoyed the art history surrounding the alleged Vermeer painting that is at the heart of this story. Given the length of this story, I was disappointed to find that it dragged with other repetitive details. I did love the ‘gotcha’ twist on the very last page. ( )
