The Last Van Gogh (Adam Barrows Mystery) par Will Ottinger
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.… (plus d'informations)
Cette critique a été écrite dans le cadre des Critiques en avant-première de LibraryThing.After several tries, I gave up on this book. The primary character is a vapid art expert who kind of wanders through the story. The plot was not very interesting and certainly not compelling enough for me to continue.
Cette critique a été écrite dans le cadre des Critiques en avant-première de LibraryThing.Exciting, but without stridency. The different threads of the plot are related without too much complexity. Perhaps the bad 'guy' is too obvious.
Cette critique a été écrite dans le cadre des Critiques en avant-première de LibraryThing.Shadows of Leonardo starts off in Russia, 1945 with a German officer and a mysterious crate. Next we are in New York City 2018, at an art auction with protagonist Adam Barrow who is presented with troubling information about the authenticity of a Da Vinci artwork. He will then go out of his way to find the truth. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this and got swept up in both the past and the present. The book is easy to read and it became a page turner, the more I got immersed in the plot. I do enjoy books that involve a painting so I was delighted to read this one.
