review 1: This book had some seriously mixed reviews, and that intrigued me, so, since I like the author, I thought I would give it a shot. I really liked it!Max is an eccentric artist with a history of sleepwalking. He's a gifted painter and is painting a series on ballerina's. Well, one ballerina in particular. When she goes missing, he's the number one suspect.Sumner is a forensic artist who is familiar with Max's work and is a fan. He gets to know Max over the course of the case and doesn't believe that Max killed the girl.I didn't actually catch on to who the killer was as quickly as I normally would have, I think. Thinking back on the story, I can see where I probably should have picked up on it, but I was too caught up in the Max/Sumner dynamic, I think. I thought they ... morewere really good together, and I was happy to see someone on Max's side. I found this to be an enjoyable afternoon read.
review 2: I loved this one, I have only read, I think, two other books by Z.A. Maxfield, but what I have read has not disappointed.When his muse, a 16 year old ballerina Elena, goes missing, he is one of the prime suspects. And he can't prove he didn't, between past kept secrets and re-painting in his sleep, Max Lancaster, thinks he's going crazy.In comes forensic artist Sumner Ellison, he doesn't believe Max killed Elena, but he isn't to sure that Max isn't crazy, And while Sumner offers Max oblivion in bed, doubts soon plague him that makes him question his faith in Max more than once.The only thing I really didn't like about this one was the ending, which is why it only got 4 stars, it just seems to summed up. I'd like to see what happens after this, maybe a second book or something, but something more. less

3,5 stars, A tale to Hitchcock, but not in tone, to which the writer has used
Rachel
3.5 stars rounded to 4, because it was definitively worth reading.
