About this listen
Before they know it, the two find themselves at the center of an international art scandal. As Petra and Calder are drawn clue by clue into a mysterious labyrinth they must draw on their powers of intuition, their skills at problem solving, and their knowledge of Vermeer. Can they decipher a crime that has left even the FBI baffled?

Hmmm
Ok, so I'll admit I picked this after reading reviews that compared it to Lemony Snicker and others. And even as an adult I enjoy those sort of books, funny, good characters, an interesting story and sometimes a bit of a puzzle thrown in.
This book meets all those criteria, so I should have loved it, but I didn't. I didn't hate it, but having listened all the way through I was left feeling... I don't know if I want to say unfulfilled, or let down, or maybe incomplete.
I know there are more books in the series but I don't feel like I have to start listening to the others straightaway in the way I did with Maryrose Wood's Incorrigible Children books, or with the lemony snicket ones. I remember the dreadful wait for the release of the next unfortunate event story. And I'm already wise enough to wait til September before starting all the wrong questions.
I know this is a horribly inconclusive review, but it's because I still don't know if I enjoyed the book or not, sorry.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
