THE ART RESTORER by
Julian Sanchez
A mystery unfolds within this tale of art, artists, writers,
secrets and beautiful scenery. The locations range around the world and are delightfully
rendered. The characters are well
developed and engaging. The mystery is interesting and will keep you guessing
until the end.
Because this is a translation, you will find a few awkward
constructions, but persevere; this tale is well worth it. The main characters, Enrique and his former
wife, Bety, find themselves embroiled in controversy when the art restorer and
writer researching Sert paintings disappears. Bety and Craig, the restorer, had become
friends while he studied the paintings in the museum/church where Bety
worked. Enrique, a renowned writer, is
enticed to delve into his disappearance and the secret contained in the
paintings.
You will learn a bit of history, a bit of art construction,
and a bit of the craft of writing, all the while enjoying the intrigue of mystery.
