The Final Act of Juliette Willoughby by Ellery Lloyd
fast-paced
4.5
4.5⭐️
This was a very clever and exciting novel. Told through multiple timelines and perspectives, this story tells a tale rich in art and intrigue. There's murder, questionable art, Egyptian lore, a secret society, and truth to uncover - all centering around the Willoughby name and, of course, artist Juliette. Her legacy and mysterious life were captivating, and reading this made me feel like I was on an adventure to uncover the real truth with each narrator and in each timeline. I absolutely thought I had it figured out on more than one occasion - and while a few of my hunches were right-ish, I never did have it all puzzled out.
This book felt like being thrust in the middle of a dire art deal where everything is at stake and no one is to be trusted. Very much giving art heist movie x family secrets determined to stay buried vibes. A great read!
