A great mystery with an unlikely duo trying to track down a painting before some more unsavory characters can get their hands on it. There's plenty of tension and suspense woven into the plot, keeping it moving forward smoothly, but I wouldn't call this a thriller per se. That said, Ottinger did a great job creating believable characters and drawing the reader into the shady side of high-end art dealings. If you're looking for a mystery that will keep you up late reading, then you'll want to put this at the top of your TBR pile. ( )

While I enjoyed this book, I found many typographical/grammatical errors throughout its pages. There frequently were missing words which I had to imagine were there in order for the sentence to make sense.
I loved the whole premise, because I love Van Gogh’s paintings. It was intriguing to get a glimpse into what his life might have been like—what he actually felt or thought.
I liked the going back and forth in time, and the world travel. I anticipated some of the ending, but not all, which is normal for me. Overall, I would recommend this book to anyone who loves art and mysteries.

The mixture of themes in this book worked quite well. There is enough art history content to feel that it is educational on some level. The story itself seems a bit far fetched and stretched my willingness to suspend disbelief. I did find the story dragged a bit in places, however I felt motivated to read to the end and the ending was satisfactory. I am happy I read this book but don't think I can add it to my list of personal favourites. ( )

I really enjoyed this book. The art world is fascinating and the back and forth with Van Gogh was well done...he's such a bizarre character in his own right and then to have the interesting story of the two brothers and the search for the missing painting, the book just flew by, really well done. I also enjoyed the travel, and the supporting characters were quirky and interesting as well. ( )
