This book really didn't go how I expected it to. It had the vibe of an historical fiction novel wrapped up with a little bit of a thrill. It's not a traditional murder mystery and I enjoyed that but if you're looking for something that'll keep you up at night, this is not the book for you. Before I realized the genre-bending that was happening I was a little upset it was taking so long to get to the thriller aspects of the book but I really enjoyed the way it ended up playing out and it was a unique spin on more traditional thrillers.

A brilliant blend of a fun summer read about friendship with a dark and winding mystery, this book seamlessly combines themes of art and history with a twisty mystery in an idyllic, summery setting.

I really enjoyed this storytelling, and I was definitely kept guessing quite a few times during the story. I think the complicated friendship relationship was really interesting, and the kind of "mixed media" style kept the reader really paying attention.
