This is our Club's March 2016 pick. Looks intriguing. Has this been a good book group pick for you? Triggered a fun discussion?

I am waiting for a review from little bro' Dave. I just found the book in New Releases at the library, liked the title, read the front insert and thought it might be okay. I was pleasantly delighted with every aspect of the book. The characters were appealing, especially the painting itself. And I was on pins towards the ending wondering and worrying about the fate of the heroine. I think when I picked it up, I was hoping for another "The Goldfinch" which was very near to monumental. "Improbability" wasn't nearly that great, but I gave it 4 stars for being fun, well-written, good plot, excellent characters and a good dose of suspense.(less)

How do you feel about the quality of the writing?

Ellen Patchy with grammatical errors which were annoying. And some strange references - alarm bell for alarm clock, for example.

I am on page 115 and nothing has happened. I've read through the reviews here and they're mixed. I hate investing this much time in a book and then chucking it. Does it actually have a plot or is it just a running commentary of oddball characters that never quite come together?
