This fast-paced story featuring Montreal journalist Bailey Summers mixes crime with two family dramas, one unsuspected by the reader, against the backdrop of an art mystery. A series of attacks on members of an art collective creates suspense and a wide field of suspects. The dialogue is natural and Bailey’s narrative voice lively and witty, as she responds to her complicated family situation and tries to get to the bottom of things. One theme might be the way the high-stakes art world intersects with individuals and families, for better and for worse. The denouement reveals this, thereby satisfactorily joining together the art theme with the novel’s preoccupation with families, their pasts and their secrets.
