This is a fascinating tale of past and present, with plenty of mystery to engage the reader.
I found the treatment of women in the surrealist art movement particularly interesting, and the interweaving of a Paris artist's apartment and a crumbling stately home made for great settings.
If I had a couple of small niggles, they would be that the start was rather slow, the 'voices' of the two students were not sufficiently 'different' (so I had to keep checking who was narrating), and I did spot the key plot twists well before they were revealed.
Despite those points, I did enjoy this and would want to read the author(s) again.
Many thanks to Netgalley and the publishers for the opportunity to read.
