Why Amsterdam is the Perfect Setting for an Art Mystery

It was a pleasure to write a short article about the setting of my art mystery for Rosa Fedele's blog!

Why Amsterdam is the Perfect Setting for an Art Mystery: MTW Feature on Artist and Author Rosa Fedele’s newsletter and website, January 22, 2017

“Amsterdam is the perfect setting for an art-related mystery, especially one in which the looting of artwork by the Nazis during World War Two plays a central role. My second novel, The Lover’s Portrait: An Art Mystery is about an American art history student who finds clues to the whereabouts of a collection of masterpieces hidden somewhere in Amsterdam, secreted away in 1942 by a homosexual art dealer who’d rather die than turn his collection over to his Nazi blackmailer.

I can safely say if I hadn’t moved to Amsterdam to study art history twelve years ago, I never would have written this novel. My life here as an expat and art history student, as well as the turbulent history of this amazing city and its many museums, directly inspired the storyline and several of the characters.”
