The Brutal Art by Jesse Kellerman - Good

This seemed to have such an unprepossessing start - I suspect because I'd enjoyed the previous book so much and it was a completely different genre & style and I, pretty much, put that down and picked this up. Two chapters/a couple of dozen pages in and I was already moaning online about it.

How wrong I was. So glad I persevered, by heading for my 50 page checkpoint as I really enjoyed this once I got into it.

New York in the 1990s and art dealer, Ethan Muller, comes across a cache of art in an apartment in a run down neighbourhood. Disturbing, yet brilliant, he displays some of the pieces and then things really begin as he tries to find the mysterious artist and solve a thirty year old mystery.

Interspersed with this, is the story of how his ancestors came to the USA, and how the family fared, until we get to the present day and see how the past impacted the future and all the threads are pulled together.

Glad I persevered and glad I have another by the author on Mount TBR. Will try and get to it soon.

An interesting journey through a troubled family. Just a nice gentle read, I thoroughly enjoyed it and will seek out more books by this author. I will be leaving the book in the free library book sharing box in Portobello (Edinburgh).
