Light in the Shadows by Linda LaffertyMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Light in the Shadows by Linda Lafferty and Andy Stone is historical fiction about the famous painter, Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio. He is simply known now as Caravaggio. There is a certain amount of mystery surrounding his death. This book ultimately posits one theory, but it is really more a mystery of a different sort. Told in alternating chapters between Caravaggio's time and present day, the mystery actually has to do with a found painting that may be one of Caravaggio's last works and the adventures some art historians go to authenticate it. Did I mention the secret society that will go to any lengths to see that this new painting is destroyed? There's that too.
