This is a story for lovers and art lovers everywhere.

Nice to have a novel about Gardner and art heist
There are some real highs in this novel, particularly the details about Gardner, her art collection, and the 1990 heist. On the other hand, some scenes strain credulity. In the end, it doesn't work.

A twisty story with romance, art, and for those of us who live in RI, a special connection to the descriptions of neighborhoods and the art scene. As a bonus, you'll actually learn something about Isabella S Gardner, and the unsolved mystery behind one of the most spectacular art thefts in this country.
