Still Lives by Maria Hummel was a December 2018 Book-of-the-month selection. βAn artist goes missing the night of her big exhibition. Maggie, part of the museum staff, obsesses over finding her.β This book is okay, but it feels like it could have been a great story. Some elements are there - the paintings of famous crime scenes - the seedy underbelly of the contemporary art world - but it never quite reaches it. Lots of suspense, a disturbed killer and Maggieβs obsession (sounded like her back story would be interesting) It strives for it, but doesnβt quite reach it.
