Art Lovers Hold-On to Your Hat

This is a review for both audio and ebook. Masterpiece by Janet Pywell and narrated by Ink Arnadine. Ink
Arnadine is perfect for narrating this fast-pace international mystery. Her use of different inflections for each character is done so well and I love how her narration speeds up as the tale get more intense, her cadence perfect. Masterpiece is the beginning of the Mikky dos Santos Thrillers which follows a master art forger, Mikky. Book 1 set the backdrop for this thrilling series, set in the international art world of buyers, sellers and thieves. Janet does a great job filling us in on Mikky's childhood, which plays an important part in her books. Mikky's relationship with her mother is touchy but this also lends itself to the tough no non-sense personality creating the morally grey person I love to cheer for, Mikky. Get ready for a roller-coaster ride with Mikky as she tries to figure-out her life in the world of art forgery.
