Attempted Book review...



Great read. Murder mystery set around the Salon of Gertrude and Leo Stein in 1920's Paris. Picasso, Braque, Matisse all play their role in trying to capture a blue lady intent on tearing off the heads of painters. Fantastically drawn it manages to convey the feel of the time both artistically and socially. A certain amount of familiarity with the period artistically does help but isn't necessary at all!
