I loved Davis’s other books, but this one was slightly less interesting. I’ve been to the Frick Museum, which is wonderful and a must see if you’re in NYC. This book had so many components that the actual story was lost. The ending felt forced and too “feel good”, but unrealistic. Davis’s writing has improved since this one was released.
