review 1: Who can resist a murder mystery where the prime suspect is Paul Cezanne? Set in late 1800's France, including real life characters such as Cezanne and Zola gives the mystery an interesting twist. I found myself googling certain Cezanne paintings and checking Zola's status in the world at that time. A decent mystery, a protagonist you cheer for and adding Cezanne and Zola to the mix made this a fun read.
review 2: I may try this again later. It did not grab and hold my attention although I like the premise very much. But the main character, the judge, was supposed to be a boring little man and...he was! I did get to where Cezanne himself appears, but he wasn't particularly sympathetic either and I remained unengaged, so I went on to more interesting reads. I... moret's due back at the library tomorrow, so I many not get back to it any time soon, if at all. less
