My Name Is Red by Orhan Pamuk

This book made me feel like I just finished a game of Blind Man's Bluff
(defined below by Wikipedia).
Blind man's bluff is a children's game played in a spacious area, such as outdoors or in a large room, in which one player, designated as "It," is blindfolded and gropes around attempting to touch the other players without being able to see them, while the other players scatter and try to avoid the person who is "it", hiding in plain sight and sometimes teasing them to make them change direction.
This book was about Turkish miniature painting artists, and which one committed a murder. Told, sometimes cleverly, sometimes blind man's bluffingly, from multiple perspectives - it got me all turned around and confused. And worst of all, I ceased caring about the characters the more turned around I got and the more characters and back stories were introduced.
