A Sharp, Incisive Thriller!

Miss Farwell or Becky lives two entirely separate, distinct lives. To some she is a fierce art collector and to her family, she is just a simple woman. Why the double life? Why such deceit? Read to find out!

I very much enjoyed this thriller. I have always liked books where the character is living a double life, i.e., The Talented Mr. Ripley. There is something so satisfying about reading a book where the protagonist is pulling off such a high-risk con.

My only critique was the pacing. In my opinion, it took me a little long to really get into the "meat" of the book. Other than that, I think this was an excellent thriller!

I was very excited about this one thanks to the description; Catch Me If You Can meets Patricia Highsmith?! Unfortunately I found it fell a bit flat.

Although I really enjoyed the premise of this book I often found myself skipping sentences, paragraphs and even whole pages due to the extreme detail of the art pieces referenced. I know these pieces enhanced the story and would appeal to those who know art well however, I was racing to the end to see if the crime was discovered so those parts weren’t important to me.

A woman leads a complicated double life, where she is both a crafty and resourceful New York art dealer and a quiet, small town clerk. But her two lives collide and disaster results. Clever, intelligent and sly
