"Lies & art, it's an ancient problem" submitted by Eris on February 18, 2007, 6:26pm This book is amazing, as much a work of art as the painting in the story. There are so many threads, so many coincidences, that finally come together and make sense. You never see everything any separate time you read it! If you liked The Westing Game, you will definately like this masterpiece of the mystery genre. Even if you're not particularly interested in mysteries, if you like the unknown & coincidences, this is a book for you! "Art is a lie that tells the truth" -Pablo Picasso

Definitely recommend submitted by muthusamyni on June 16, 2020, 2:02pm This was book was very good and kept me hooked until the end. There were some parts that were confusing and/or unbelievable, but other than that it was really interesting. The codes were really fun and made reading the book an experience.
