Three Stars.
Told in two time periods, this story revolves around a true art museum started by Henry Clay Frick. Frick collected art and had an extensive collection. His daughter hired a lady to be her personal secretary. The lady had no prior experience, and had been, in fact, a model for famous statues in and around New York. Her hiring was a fluke, but she established herself in the home of Frick. Frick, in poor health, is murdered, and the mystery is not solved until the end of the book.
The 2nd time period is years later and involves a model who, through no fault of her own, becomes locked in the Frick museum. It's a rather silly story, but she and a docent at the museum figure out clues which leads to the solution of the murder of Frick many years before.
I was just glad it was over.
