Description

A smart thriller with literary chops, The Appraisal follows art appraiser Helena Marsh as she navigates post-WWII corruption in the art world. When wealthy octogenarian Geza Marton hires her to buy back his family's Titian painting, Helena flies to Budapest for a seemingly simple sale. However, nothing is ever simple in this beautiful and flawed city, where corruption abounds. As Helena delves into the painting's history, she discovers multiple bidders, including some dangerous individuals, and soon finds herself entangled in a complex web of deceit and danger. With her considerable skills put to the test, Helena must stay alive and out of jail as she unravels the truth behind the painting's ownership. With its fast-paced and wildly entertaining plot, The Appraisal is a gripping thriller set against the rich post-war history of middle-Europe.
