The Last Painting of Sara de Vos by Dominic Smith

5.0

This book really surprised me. I picked it up for a quick airplane read with the hope that it would be entertaining -- that's a pretty low expectation for me. What I found was a nuanced, richly detailed mystery with complex characters. The author did a masterful job in weaving together multiple timelines and fleshing out the humanity of his complicated main characters. I also enjoyed the settings -- such contrast between Brooklyn, Manhattan, the Dutch countryside, upstate New York.
