When I read the synopsis of The Final Act of Juliette Willoughby by Ellery Lloyd I just knew I had to read it as it sounded so intriguing.  Thank you to Pan Macmillan for granting my request for an ARC. 

This is an ambitious story that spans a century of mysterious deaths, Egyptian artifacts and many skeletons in dusty old closets.  Could a missing painting hold the key to it all?

The plot is rich and complex, told over three distinct timelines with multiple POVs and locations.  Each location is vivid and atmospheric from arty Paris during 1938,   academic Cambridge in 1991 to present day Dubai with all its wealth and glamour.   Although the story switches between timelines the execution is seamless and the unfolding mysteries kept me on the edge of my seat. 

This book combined all my favourite genres in a unique and exciting way.  The pacing is perfect and the conclusion satisfying.  I would highly recommend this book and if you have it on your TBR bump it up to the top
