Was it found: The Lost Van Gogh (by Jonathan Santlofer)

I think that Santlofer has found his niche writing suspenseful novels about art works. This is his second, following on a story about the Mona Lisa. I think that anyone who enjoyed Dan Brown’s novels will consider his a worthy colleague.

This time, as the title indicates, the missing work (if it indeed is) is by Van Gogh. Luke and Alexis are excited by the possibility and want to claim it. He is the great grandson of an art thief and Alexis is familiar with this trade as well. They engage with an investigator and Interpol as they seek answers. 

All in all, here is a fast paced story with an intriguing plot. The short chapters encourage the reader to keep going. Perfect for those who are seeking a page turner.

Many thanks to Sourcebooks Landmark for this title. All opinions are my own.

I love to read, recommend books and open the world of reading to others. I tutor to ensure that the next generation of readers will know the joys of a good book because their reading skills have improved. I am an avid reader, especially of mysteries and fiction. I believe that two of the world's greatest inventions were the public library and eyeglasses!
