Seamlessly woven together is the story of current day art recovery specialist Zoe Hunter Andrews and 1920's detective Olive Belgrave. Zoe needs to complete the provenance of a century old painting and Olive's work involving the painting may just hold the clues she needs. Not only does this story have a mystery involving both old and new the reader also gets a good armchair travel experience to Amsterdam and Athens.
This is a great multifaceted story with interesting characters and settings. It is book 7 in the On the Run series but could be easily read as a stand alone. Thanks to the author for an ARC. The opinions expressed are my own.

Zoe Andrews, an art recovery specialist, is hot on the trail of some stolen paintings right in her hometown. After that she and her husband Jack have planned romantic getaway to Europe but first Zoe is contacted to discover the provenance of a famous Art Deco era painting Woman in a White Fur by Tamara de Lempicka. The search will take her to London where she and Jack plan to stop for a brief time while he has a business meeting. The gallery and archive visit will keep Zoe occupied while Jack is busy. However, Zoe soon discovers the paperwork has been stolen by a blogger who claims to have some sort of shocking revelation about Sebastian Blakley, a famous art photographer from the 1920s-1970s, whose family donated the painting to the gallery. Zoe can't leave this project unfinished so she and Jack head to Amsterdam to meet Margo and hopefully retrieve the paperwork. All does not go according to plan and the painting, along with two contemporary works, is stolen from the gallery. Zoe can't leave this job unfinished and she'll do whatever it takes to solve the mystery. In 1923, Olive Belgrave is hired by Sebastian Blakley to conduct an art inventory at one of his country homes, Hawthorne House. Accompanied by her crush, Jasper, Olive sets out to surprise the estate manager and hopefully figure out if something "dodgy" is going on or if Sebastian is worried for nothing. The estate manager isn't too thrilled to have Olive and Jasper stay at Hawthorne House and when an intruder breaks in, Olive is suspicious. She's determined to finish the inventory because now she knows something unusual has been happening at Hawthorne House.
I came into this not having read any of the On the Run series. I just wanted to know what Olive and Jasper were up to. Sebastian hinted at something in Murder on a Midnight Clear when helping Olive out of a predicament. I was curious about what happened. The plot of this novel is disjointed. I was disappointed there wasn't more Olive and the story leaves some loose ends, only some of which are tied up neatly at the end. First, there's an initial mystery in Fort Worth where Zoe lives. That was unrelated to the rest of the story and pointless. Then there's a major mystery and a search for missing papers that makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. It's unrealistic at best. I don't know about England and Europe but in the U.S. stealing from an archive is a federal crime and the FBI gets involved. It's usually someone known to the archivists and curators and someone much more clever than the person in this story. I don't think curators have the money to pay ransom for missing documents. That's where the authorities come in handy! That plot seems to come to an end but then it's picked up again later which also makes no sense. There's a minor mystery of a shady character that sort of gets resolved but left me wanting more. Finally, there's the stolen artwork plot. Again, the police should handle it. That intertwines with Olive's story which is told in two big chunks. It wasn't enough for me. I wanted more Olive and less ridiculous Zoe plot! This story is an art heist novel and doesn't contain any murders. Olive's clever brain doesn't get to go to work at all.
None of the characters really appealed to me, not even my beloved Olive and Jasper. If I read this book without knowing more about them, I wouldn't really be that interested. You need to start with the first book and watch Olive come into her own and Jasper play Watson to her Sherlock. They're still dancing around their feelings in this novel and Olive, a nice, well-bred girl, acknowledges to herself how she feels when she's around him but can't, because of the strict social rules of the day, tell Jasper. Plus he's a friend and confidante and that would be awkward.
The bulk of the story is about Zoe. I wasn't crazy about her. Her idea of a plan is just to wing it and see how it goes. She lies, breaks the law and doesn't bat at eyelash and doing such things. Instead of going to the police, she's prepared to pay ransom for the provenance documents and Olive's report. Who does that? Her husband Jack is rather taciturn and type A. His idea of a vacation is to highlight maps and guidebooks and have a plan for everything. My idea of fun is somewhere in between. On the plus side, I did love armchair traveling to England, Amsterdam and Athens. That was a lot of fun, especially the Amsterdam section. I'm sorry I didn't go there and eat my fill of waffles and pancakes! The tulips and hyacinths sound lovely but I'm allergic to flowers so armchair travel seeing tulips appeals more to me than seeing them in real life. Zoe and Jack don't spend much time in Athens and that setting didn't make me want to go there right away.
It took awhile for me to get into the mystery. It starts and stops a lot but by the second half I couldn't put it down. I kept getting interrupted just all was about to be revealed and that annoyed me so much! I was eager to finish it.
I listened to the audio version of this book read by Elizabeth Klett. The reader wasn't bad but she sounded kind of young for Zoe. Her Jack wasn't that masculine, she was just reading his lines for the most part. I really liked her Olive though. Olive sounds very posh and English. Elizabeth Klett's high society English accent was well done. The way she pronounced "provenance" incorrectly drove me up a wall. It's "prah-vah-nahnce" not "provenence" rhymes with Providence.
There are a number of suspicious characters in this novel, all of whom are fairly transparent and two-dimensional. Margo, in present day, is a scatterbrained conspiracy blogger who never reveals what she claims to know about Sebastian. Is it related to the artwork or something else? Personally, I thought he was not the marrying type, not even to continue the family name and all that. I thought he was gay so I was expecting way more of a secret. Perhaps there isn't a secret and Margo was just bluffing. Her boyfriend, Rolf, is a stoner and a loser. I suspect he knows exactly what happened to the papers and had something to do with it. He may have had something to do with the art heist too. Those two deserve each other. Margo, at least, has hopes and dreams for something better but I think Rolf is just a loser who wants to smoke weed all day. (It's legal in parts of the U.S. too and the characters act like OMG! Only in Amsterdam :eyeroll:! )
I also suspect Farina V., an artist, is a suspicious character. She's certainly eager to promote her own bizarre artwork and very interested in the 1920s painting. I don't trust her. Then there's the man with the gray ponytail who seems to be following Zoe and Jack. What is he up to? He's kind of dropped from the story and it isn't really clear why he was doing what he was doing. Then there's Farina's friend Peter. He's been in trouble with the law before and she suspects he stole the paintings. Yet when questioned by Zoe, he doesn't seem to know anything. I believe he's telling the truth and Farina is lying. Another shady man appears in the Greek section of the story. His family claims to have owned Woman in a White Fur since 1923! What's going on there? This man has ties to organized crime so Zoe is disinclined to trust him. Could he have stolen the artwork and made fake papers?
I don't have any plans to read the previous books in this series but I'm still eager to read Murder at the Mansions

This was a nice easy read with two time lines, one from the 1920's and one from the present day, both involved with the theft of a piece of art. Present day investigator Zoe is using the report written by the investigator from the '20's in her attempt to verify the provenance of a painting up for sale. Her investigation takes her to both Amsterdam and Athens. This is the last in a series, and is apparently a crossover from another of the author's series. 3.5 stars

In the epilogue, author Sara Rosett mentions the challenges of maintaining and weaving two timelines of the two stories in Duplicity but she handles them marvelously! I came to this book from The High-Society Lady Detective series for a bit more about Olive and Jasper's relationship, and I enjoyed Zoe and Jack just as much.
Duplicity is an entertaining story of Zoe as a fledgling art recovery specialist on the trail of the provenance of a work of art. Many discoveries are made on her search, which includes her "vacation" in Europe with her husband. Neither of them can power down and unplug from their high-intensity jobs, but they manage to sightsee in a few locales while solving art mysteries across The Continent and in England. I thought the interweaving of Olive's findings in 1923 was a brilliant device for backstory, but also giving us more information about Olive and Jasper while moving Zoe and Jack's plot forward. I really enjoyed the inclusion of both character sets.
If you are a fan of Sara Rosett's writing and series, Duplicity will be a fun read that brings two storylines together. Get lost in Europe and the world of art for a while!
*as a footnote, I listened to the audiobook edition but it was not listed in Goodreads' catalog. As always, the narrator, Elizabeth Klett is wonderful. She handles the accents of the different characters with ease and is lovely to listen to.

A Sara Rosett special! Two of her most engaging female detectives, separated by a century or so, on a parallel storyline, a race against time and a mystery or two to solve ...
Thankfully this is no ghostly tale (that wouldn’t be my cup of tea at all) - this is clever interweaving of two exciting, linked plots. It’s beautifully written - it feels like an ‘easy read’ because it’s so fluent and keeps up the pace, but it’s quality writing. It drew me in from the beginning, and intrigued me to the end.
I’m already a big fan the Olive Belgrave 1920s lady detective series, but the Zoe Hunter “on the run” series is new to me. It didn’t spoil my enjoyment of this book that I hadn’t read the rest of the series.
(But I’ve already gone back and started book 1 “Elusive”, which is proving as brilliant as expected! You can download it on Kindle on Amazon UK for free atm, if you wanted to read it first.)
There’s a wonderfully escapist feeling to “Duplicity” - partly the style of writing, partly the plot and locations. And honestly in the time of writing this, with Covid 19 lockdown and dark news all around, this is a much needed breath of fresh air. Wonderful!
I received an ARC of this book and voluntarily read and reviewed it - with great pleasure :)

Sara Rosett partners characters from two different series in Duplicity to tell the tale of a disputed painting. Zoe Andrews works as a consultant, hunting down missing valuable art. As she tries to follow the provenance for a painting owned by one of her clients, she discovers there might be a report prepared in 1923 by High Society Detective Olive Belgrave that might be the link she needs. The painting Woman in White Fur was supposedly owned by Sebastian Blakely but another person in Greece has claimed the painting has hung in his house for decades. Currently the Woman in White Fur is on display in a gallery in Amsterdam and that is where Zoe is headed.
The dark world of art theft and forgeries has been a favorite of mine and Duplicity brings two smart, dedicated characters together to solve the issue of provenance.

DUPLICITY.....Sara Rosett
Zoe working as a consultant for the Harrington company, retrieving lost valuable items, or researching unbroken ownership of paintings, She recently been thought of as a professional of art recovery. Calling her about a famous piece in the Blakey collection, that was to be sold. Then an author is challenging with a book to come out soon, as to the time period he had the painting, the potential buyer is leery. Just look over the material, he knew Zoe and Jack would be going on a vacation , both their jobs were demanding, and wanted time together.
The author took two favorite characters and their cases and brought them in.. The research on art paintings is endless and she drew and interesting plot. For Zoe and Jack, there will be changes.
Good story, that readers will enjoy. Given ARC for my voluntary review and my honest opinion

I loved this book. Sara Rosett is a wonderful writer. I have read many of her books and am always entertained. This series "On the run" is great. Each book takes place in a different country and that is such fun because Sara really does her research and it feels like you are visiting that place. Each book can be read as a stand-alone but more might be gained by reading the series in order. That said I have not done that and not felt cheated or lost in the story. Zoe and Jack are a fun couple and I enjoy being taken along on their adventures in different countries. Sara Rosett has said that she has no plans to write any more books in this series. I for one hope that changes. I was given an ARC copy and this is my honest review.

This was a combo or 2 of Rosett's characters, Olive the high society detective and the On the Run character Zoe and her husband Jack. Olive was commissioned to make an inventory of Sebastian Blakely's art collection, which she did. Now hop to the current times when Blakely's family wants to sell a painting and finds out it might be a fake, or is the one in Greece the fake. Zoe and Jack and are able to unravel the mystery and figure out which is the fake and how each of the owners thought that they had the original and which was the original which the fake and all's well that ends well.
The On the Run books always make me wish I could travel and world and see all the great places in the stories.

Duplicity melds two stories of the mystery surrounding the same painting during two eras. Zoe is a modern day finder of lost art and researcher of ownership of artwork for sale. She receives a requests to verify the ownership of a painting that has been shrouded in mystery once before. She uncovers a report from Olive Belgrave who catalogued the collection including this work in the 1920s. As the stories parallel a theft sends Zoe and her boyfriend Jack on a chase to unravel mysteries past and present.
Duplicity is a great read. The mystery is a fast paced with plenty of twists and turns from both stories. I highly recommend Duplicity and all Sara Rossett books.

I enjoy Ms. Rosett’s On the Run series and Duplicity was such a fun read with an intriguing mystery interspersed with wonderful bits of international travel. Although you could read this as a stand-alone, do not deny yourself the pleasure of reading the entire series - especially since the author noted this one will be the series finale.
It was my pleasure to receive this ARC and give my honest review.

May 15, 2020Duplicity was my introduction to author, Sara Rosett. I enjoyed this book because it wasn't the same old plot with the same predictable outcome. I enjoyed traveling in Europe and seeing the sights with Zoe Andrews and her husband Jack. And I liked visiting 1923 England to see what Olive Belgrave accomplished. This book is about art heists and recovery. It's amazing what lengths people will go to when it comes to famous paintings! Now I want to check out the other books in this series!
July 30, 2021
This was a nice merging of two different series by the same author. One is set in the 1920s, and the other is contemporary. I have apparently read them out of order, but it really doesn’t matter that much. This comes between books 4 and 5 in the high society lady detective series. That one is still continuing on, but this book is the last of the contemporary series. Both are good reading for fans of cozy mystery books.
April 25, 2020
Really enjoyed this planned final book in the On The Run series. It had a fun cross-over to her High Society Lady Detective series, and again featured fabulous travel locations: Amsterdam and Athens, another art heist—but this time with a twist of forgery. If you need a fun escape read during the quarantine, I highly recommend this series!
April 27, 2020
What a fun "crossover" mystery! Modern day Zoe has to rely on reports written by Roaring 20s sleuth Olive Belgrave from the High Society Lady Detective series to track down and authenticate a stolen painting. The blending of the two story lines was done seamlessly with both having their own interest and intrigue. I also enjoyed learning a little more about Amsterdam and Athens in the process.
September 11, 2021
I’ll miss Zoe and Jack and their adventures in lovely locales in Europe. If the series had to end, it was fun for it to be intertwined with a connected storyline set in the 1920’s and featuring High Society Detective Olive and her friend Jasper. Thank you to Elizabeth Klett for your enjoyable narration of these audiobooks, and to Sarah Rosett for well written plots and entertaining characters!

DUPLICITY is a fun international adventure. I enjoyed the mystery and following along on Zoe's travels. The end wrapped things up nicely, proving to be a satisfying finish for the series.
Disclosure: I received a free copy of this book.

The final Zoe & Jack mystery may jus have been my favorite & now there are no more! Two paintings appear both with families believing they own the original, but one of them is fake…. Why & how is story that unfolds as the Zoe & Jack globe hop to sort it all out.
March 23, 2025
I really enjoyed the intertwining of the 2 books with the society lady detective and the "on the run" Zoe. Showing the difference between 1923 and today was great. Showing the different stolen and fake paintings and how they happened kept me on the edge of my seat.
May 12, 2020
Loved it! Now I have to read the rest of this series!
May 30, 2020
Great storyline. Loved the dual mysteries.

I wish this had more Olive!

I didn’t expect to like this as much as I did because I don’t often enjoy crossover books but this was great. Really enjoyable.

My favorite!

The 7th book in the On the Run series. Light and fun mystery.

A bit too much of a travelogue for my taste, but I’m sure readers love it. Zoe and Jack were pleasant characters, kind of bland but at least they didn’t do anything stupid.
March 23, 2024
I really liked this whole series.
July 16, 2025
I listened to this book only because I wanted to hear more of Olive’s story from the High Society Lady Detective series, but I ended up enjoying the modern day storyline too!

I really enjoyed reading Duplicity by Sara Rosett. In this book, Mrs Rosett wove the stories of two of her beloved characters (Zoe Andrews of the present day and Olive Belgrave from the 1920s) together to create a delightful mystery. My favorite part of the On the Run series besides checking in on the characters is the international travel. Mrs Rosett is so good at describing the locations that you feel as if you have travelled aboard with the characters. I also learned about art recovery because of the author's extensive research on the subject. I highly recommend reading all of the books in Sara Rosett's On the Run International series and in the High Society Lady Detective series. I was delighted to receive an advance review copy.
