I enjoyed Volume 2 of Watching and the interesting take in non-corporeal time travel. 

This story centers on stolen Jewish Art, specifically “The Portrait of an Innocent Girl.”  Our time-traveler, Josh, again experiences more (and new) “Watchings” and “Visits” to assist and guide FBI Special Agent Star(ling) Hebert to hopefully recover this missing art. 

This time, however, the journeys back in time affect our Protagonist more profoundly—with a few health scares. 

Josh’s wife, Adrian, is there for support—and some great comic relief. Also, a French Interpol Inspector DuBois joins with Agent Hebert to share information to track down the missing art and those suspected to be involved—including present-day Nazi sympathizers, and possible inside FBI agents!

The writing is very clear and concise, with great banter between the spouses, Agent Hebert and Inspector DuBois, and with Josh, Adrian, and Star—a found family. Many fun quips and story is conversational throughout. 
Josh and Adrian’s marriage and relationship is depicted as loving, open communication and very supportive…they seem like a truly happy and fun couple. I do love that Adrian had more involvement in this story, and played a big part in keeping Josh safe and cared for. 

The entire idea of this story and how the author explains the possible reason for the time travel is such a unique spin. 

This volume includes more paranormal events, with the unexpected, cryptic “visits” for Josh, along with his typical watchings. 

The villain—outside of Hitler and his hired art thief, is quite disturbing. I didn’t expect his level of psychosis. 

If there’s a Volume 3, hopefully Dr. Silver can come up with a less disgusting elixir for Josh and his pre-watching routine.

Thank you for the eARC copy, Mr. Levin.
