An easy to read average crime novel.

Update on 12.01.17 - When our book group picked this book, the author was supposed to visit our book group. She didn't show. We were bummed.

"Your Eye's like a perfect pitch, he said. You're lucky you were born with it" Lily's father told her when she was young. Lily Sparks is the Conservator of Paintings at the Denver Art Museum and her focus is on Fields of the Gennevilliers Plain, a painting by Gustave Caillebotte because the painting was lost for over a century but she believes that the painting is most likely forged.

George Kurtz, the museum's benefactor is found murdered, split in two. She finds the scene fascinating. Kurtz was everiscated with his intestines were smeared on the wall behind where Kurts was sitting, what is strange about that? Well, it imitated the painting. Pretty gory right?

The story also involves a past boyfriend FBI agent Paul Riley, there is still an attraction but she does not know is she should pursue it. She is too busy though trying to convince Paul to her theory on the murder. Another important character is her father Harry, her mother died when Lily was too young to remember. As the story continues, she finds that what she was told when she was young was a lie and that her father may be in danger along with herself.

What ensues is a great mystery story that is page-turning. Lily's "eye" and intuition makes this story a great mystery. Loved the characters especially Lily! I loved the story and actually finished it in a few hours.

The main character was interesting, but if anyone had dyslexia that debilitating, they couldn’t be a successful anything much less a defense lawyer. People actually have to read things to her. No way. I wasn’t buying it.
