Chasing Vermeer by Blue Balliett

3.0

Hrmph. What a letdown. It all begins so promising with lots of insinuations of cool mysteries hidden in the text and art. I had pages of notes comparing ideas from the series of broken frames in each picture to what pentimino letters were referenced in the dialogue. Then the end being such a cop out. The various mysteries ended up feeling artificial. And the ultimate reveal was an instance of they solved the mystery... OR DID THEY? (eye roll). Still, I had a lot of fun leading up to that point, so I'll play nice with the rating.
