    A decent read, though I found some parts a bit slow. The art history aspect was interesting, but the espionage felt a bit predictable. Overall, a good way to spend an afternoon.

    I was hooked from the first chapter. West’s writing is superb. It masterfully weaves art history with espionage making for an intelligent thriller.

    I expected more from this book. It was okay, but not as thrilling as I anticipated. The characters were well-developed, though.

  6. Anant Kumar Yadav

    West delivers another compelling Gabriel Allon story! The blend of art and espionage is expertly done. Highly recommend.

  7. Divyanshi Gupta

    A captivating spy novel with plenty of intrigue and suspense! The art world backdrop added an interesting layer to the story.

  8. Jaskiran Kaur Dhanoa

    Engaging from start to finish! The combination of art history, espionage, and suspense is expertly crafted. Allon is a fantastic character.

  9. Harshit Tiwari

    Solid read, but I’ve read better from this author. The premise was interesting, but the execution felt a bit lacking.

  10. Vaibhav Kumar Arya

    An absolute page-turner! Allon is at his best in this installment. Thrilling, suspenseful, and beautifully written.

  11. Bhuwan Sharma

    A bit underwhelming compared to other books by this author. The plot felt predictable, and the ending was not as impactful as I hoped.

  12. Stuti Seth

    A good addition to the series. Though it has a slow start, the story eventually picks up and becomes quite gripping. The settings are very well described.

  13. Akash Gupta

    The beginning was captivating, but it lost some steam halfway through. A solid spy thriller, but not particularly memorable.

  14. Debashish Das

    I found it a bit hard to follow at times. The plot was dense, and I struggled to keep track of all the characters. Still, it was an okay read.

  15. Rohit Rajdhar

    A good but not great read. The art history aspect was interesting. Overall, I enjoyed the book and would recommend it.

  16. Aakanksha Sharma

    Allon is a great character, but this wasn’t West’s strongest. The plot had potential, but didn’t fully deliver. Still enjoyable, but not her best.

  17. Rakesh Kumar

    A thrilling ride! The plot was intricate and kept me guessing until the end. Allon is a fascinating and complex protagonist.

  18. Yash Kumar

    A decent spy thriller, but nothing extraordinary. Enjoyable enough for a light read, but easily forgettable.

  19. Sahil Ahuja

    West has done it again! Another brilliant Allon adventure with plenty of twists. I couldn’t put it down. Highly recommend.

  20. Akshita Singh

    Intriguing plot with twists and turns. I enjoyed the art restoration details and the historical background. Definitely kept me engaged!

  21. Yash Sharma

    Enjoyable, but somewhat formulaic. If you love the series, you’ll like this one, but it’s not groundbreaking.

  22. Hetkumar Dipakkumar Patel

    Not my favorite Allon book. The plot felt a little convoluted and the pacing was off. Still readable, but not outstanding.
