G'day Barbara.
"How can they remain so calm? The silence is killing me." (Me too.)
"He's the person her great-great(-)grandfather"
"When I checked it out at the museum, there was (a) man trying"
Well, Mr Gaines seems like a no-nonsense sort of bloke and that's what they need, I hope.
Another very interesting and well written chapter, mate.
Great job.
Cheers Fez

There are so many wonderful characters in this story. The penthouse is a lively brood and I thoroughly enjoy the interactions of all of them.
Terrific story.

Coming from you it's especially meaningful.

Good morning, Barbara
I enjoyed the read. The flow was smooth, and as I've come to expect, the dialogue and interaction between the various characters was believable. I like how you've woven in the mystery as to why Kuznetsov is so involved with the painting.
Take care and stay safe,
Ray

I love the style. It grabbed my attention. Made me want to know more. I look forward to reading more of the story. What made you choose this genre? What inspires you to write novels/books instead of short stories or articles?

I like to intertwine many plots into my stories so short stories are out. I don't feel things happen in a vacuum but many things happen. Thank you for the kind review.
Comment from Brigitte Elko
The references to German relics, like the cuckoo clock brought back so many memories that I became homesick. The author writes with details that are educational and fact based and therefore involves the reader to the extend of obsession. I have to admit, "Edelweiss" made me cry, my grandfather used to sing this to me while gathering holly and mistletoe for decorations for the holidays. To survive, these were sold to Americans living nearby. Sehr gut, meine freund.

Danke!!! I appreciate the kind review.
Comment from Phyllis Stewart
Good chapter. Gaines didn't seem to do much, but he's probably keeping his thoughts to himself. I would at this point. The antique clock is interesting. If the Nazis took all of the family's valuables, they would not have left the clock. I'm assuming the uncle is a descendant of the great-great uncle. If my guess is right, why did he still have the clock to will to Shana? I could be wrong, but I found it "interesting" as Gaines did, but maybe for the wrong reason?

The clock isn't Shana's but Anderson's. The question is how did he get it and why is it in the story. HMMMM Thank you for the kind review.
Comment from apky
The plot is thickening, as they say. This part of your post brings in a lot of intriguing details: the man at the museum, the lawyer and his interest in the clock with the parting shot of "Interesting". I'm wondering if Anderson, too, has some not so kosher stuff in his life.
Well done. Just a little nit below.
When I checked it out at the museum, there was (a) man trying to get really close.

Comment from Sis Cat
This chapter made me think of all that my Jewish aunt lost when the Germans put her family in Auschwitz. Your novel is many things--a mystery, a romance. Your story is compelling, especially since today stolen art is still being found and debated in courts. You add to this a sense of danger and peril because of Kuznetsov and the Russian mafia. Your prose moves effortlessly from description and dialog, moving your novel forward.
Thank you for sharing your latest chapter.

Interesting. Love the video also. I was thinking about how many counterfeit paintings were done after the war. Still a good read. Best to you Barbara. Flows very well.
