False Impression

I usually enjoy Jeffrey Archer's books (a lot actually), but this one wasn't like his other, more well-written works. This book's writing was nothing like the writing of Sir Archer I've come to adore. So it was a lost cause for me on the writing front. The story, well to begin, it was too linear and predictable.
I had a hard time connecting to the characters; they were good and well-built, but not relatable, especially the protagonist.
As I said, the book was very, very predictable, so the only redeeming element I was looking for in this book - the mystery - was lost the minute it started. And whatever parts did manage to take me off guard were totally eye-roll-worthy due to the nonsensicality of it all.
I liked the sections about Van Gogh's details and history, but apart from that I really didn't like this book. Overall, it was just okay. And if you haven't yet read any of Sir Archer's books, then I'd suggest that you leave this one alone and try one of his masterpieces like The Cliffton Chronicles.
