I had liked his book The Art Thief so I thought that I should give this one a try. It was informative, I guess, but something about it felt very surface level. I couldn't help but feel like some of the narrative observations of Knight were a little off when compared everything we learned about him.

I really enjoyed this! It was dark and bizarre and had a lot of those wonderfully strange elements that really make a story stick in your memory.
It just wasn't doing it for me. I started this immediately after The Guest and this book just feels bit too similar and also not as good.
