No Good Time is absolutely amazing! It excellently combines mystery/suspense with a wonderful art history element. All of this works to make No Good Time a memorable and entertaining read!

An Artemisia Gentileschi painting borrowed from a New York gallery for an opening coming up in just a few days has been discovered to be fake. It is discovered quickly that it was actually switched for a forgery. Everyone at The New London Arts Museum is shocked and unsure of how to proceed. Lady Gabriella Peake Jones, who is in charge of the exhibit, is the prime suspect. Feeling overwhelmed, Gabi asks her close friends and neighbors, Nick Donahue and Marina DiPietro, to solve this mystery by finding the original painting and revealing who the culprit is. What ensues is a multitude of drama, lots of potential suspects, and the discovery of a group of thieves running a long con. Nick and Marina need to solve this mystery as soon as possible, find who actually did it, and locate the missing Gentileschi painting as soon as possible before things escalate even further.

No Good Time is a delightfully entertaining read! The art history, the mystery, the many suspects, as well as the look into the art world as a whole is very interesting. Nick and Marina are a fantastic team and it’s super fun to try to solve the mystery as the plot continues on. The twists and turns throughout ensure that the reader is kept on the edge of their seat until the very end. A well written story with a great plot, fantastic mystery, and multi-faceted characters that work to further broaden the story!
