At first I wasn't too sure about this one. It seemed to start out as a story about an artist full of angst. It quickly turned into a riveting mystery. I loved the mini stories of the relationships through out history. It can get a little confusing as they refer to the characters back and forth from the past to the present, I almost felt like I needed to write it all down to keep them all straight. Read it, you will see. That is the only flaw and it is not really a flaw, you just need to pay attention to the story. There is a great plot twist at the end and is well worth the read.
