Still Lives by Maria Hummel
4.0

“You ended up admiring her, didn’t you?” I really enjoyed Maggie’s story and want to know more about her. Learning about the art world- the glamour and homeliness of it was fascinating and made for a great environment for this murder mystery. Tempted to give this a 3.5 instead because I didn’t *love* the ending. Also I was really for the women artists and women victims thing, and while the jealous murderess thing is interesting, I don’t think it was particularly well executed on Hummel’s part. I also want to know more about almost every character in the book- Hummel could’ve easily given us more. An easy read, too.
