“Fans will be delighted. Another strong entry in a consistently appealing series.”—Kirkus
“With a tight time frame, a fast pace, and plenty of action, this sequel to The Van Gogh Deception (2017) and The Rembrandt Conspiracy (2020) is a page-turner that can be enjoyed on its own, but it will particularly interest readers of the Lost Art series.”—Booklist
