This was an incredible read, an absolute page-turner, and thrilling the whole way through. I loved Karina's background as a Washington DC lawyer turned policy wonk, as well as the way Karina tries to work out what's happening even as she makes plenty of mistakes. The mystery of the plot kept me going the whole way through, even with the elements of romance and crime. I love art heist fiction generally, but this one really grabbed my attention. I'll definitely be reading anything else by this author!
