The Escape Artist by Brad Meltzer

1.0

This book was 100% not for me. I read it because I was intrigued by the concept of the artist in residence, but Nola's position was irrelevant to the story. Instead, what I found was the sort of thriller novel I generally try to avoid, complete with one of those cocky and supposedly awesome male characters. Nola wasn't much better, in that for someone who's supposedly so clever and such a force of nature, she sure ends up needing to be rescued by Zig a lot. Throw in a preposterous plot, and this was just a big ol' no thanks for me.
