Circles of Confusion (Claire Montrose, Bk 1) Author:April Henry
Book Description:
Why did dear departed Aunt Cady have an exquisite old painting buried beneath World War II paraphernalia? And how can a painting so dramatically shift Claire's perspective on everything from her uninspired love life to her ho-hum job in the Oregon state custom license plate division?
MSTBF8
(must be fate)
A sophisticated art expert tells Claire the painting isn't valuable. Why, then, is she being followed, her hotel room getting ransacked, and her life being thrown in a state of havoc that reaches back to her quiet home in Portland? The closer Claire comes to the truth about her inherited masterpiece, the more questions -- and trouble -- she uncovers. Though offers of help are arriving in very intriguing packages, Claire is caught in the middle of a dangerous tug-of-war that can leave her either richer in body, soul, and bank book -- or broken, battered, and pushing up daisies.

I enjoyed this book. The license plates are fun, but the story and the mystery hold together nicely. I thought the mystery itself was a bit unusualy and quite interesting.

Great book. I enjoyed the addition of WWII history and the emphasis on art. Well-worth the read.
