The investigation into the world of art is interesting. Yvan Wild, art expert and auctioneer meet again one day, while he is at the Wagram station, forced to work for an organization in New York and Paris to disappear, changing identity. It is his only chance to find her alive granddaughter disappeared a year earlier.
I liked the setting of the book drive, one is immediately projected into the history and from the very first pages, there was action. We discover the characters, their lives and passed as and history. The characters in turn are true, well described, expressive.
A small note about temporality, if initially it is stated Yvan Wild could kiss his wife for at least one year everything goes faster, over two months. This is a detail and yet it marked me. Some explanation was needed on Yvan projects that are not very clear or those kidnappers. If the general sense of history poses no difficulty and the dénouvement to understanding the ropes of all, playing however it lacks some precision and detail.
The outcome is I find a bit too fast, all due in a few dozen pages relative to a beginning of more substantial story more accurate. For cons, I was surprised by the final outcome and I do not expect it at all I enjoyed.
I enjoy books with short chapters, but I confess that sometimes we passed very quickly from one character to another so that it was missing for me a little order and clarity. The adopted style is simple, a spoken style and thought at times, reading is fluid and enjoyable. Finally, timing is not always easy to identify when there are setbacks.
Besides some small details "negative" in the end it was a pleasant discovery, which confirms that The New Authors contain talented authors, and I'm curious about the further adventures of Yvan Sauvage.
