Hmm... This book would have been fine if it had been a straightforward murder mystery, or just about Monet's time in London. However, mixing the two seemed, in my opinion, to make either subject at all interesting. It was ok, but not a book I would recommend, or indeed even remember reading in a few months time.
I'm giving this to my mum, if she doesn't want to read it I'm sure she'll find a good home for it.
