melodier93 's review for:
Chasing Vermeer
by Blue Balliett
(3.5 stars) I bought this book as a kid because it seemed smart and eccentric, and remember enjoying it but finding it unsatisfying. There’s something very reassuring about rereading it as an adult and coming to the same conclusion. Aesthetically, this book is so fun - mysterious old buildings, secrets, and a university - but it isn’t actually satisfying as a mystery. The over reliance on coincidences and the supernatural bothered me as a kid, and it bothered me now. Disappointing.
