Summary: A surprising, imaginative and great read
Review: This book was given to me and I thought it was a refreshing crime/thriller because it does involve a variety of European and American locations and the art world. I am tired of heroes and warriors who know little outside their own city, though love them all the same. I thoroughly enjoyed it and looked for more Lindsey books, which seem to be quite different from this and perhaps not what I am looking for.

Summary: A wordy, overwritten and generally disappointing book
Review: This was my first sampling of David Lindsay, and I was very dissappointed. I bought it on a whim after reading the flap, and thought it would be enjoyable spy/thriller/mystery novel...I was wrong.This book was too wordy. It could have been 200 pages shorter, and still managed to tell the story sufficiently. What's more, when I bought the book I did not realize that a specific knowledge of fine art and European geography were prerequisists for comprehending (and enjoying) this book. It was my impression that Harry Strand, former US spy turned art dealer, would dabble with art as a "tickler" to keep the reader interested; however, what I came to realize was that a detailed knowledge of art was needed to simply follow along. I found myself rolling my eyes and losing my composure all too often. I agree with many of my fellow readers that "Color of Night" was a laborous read, and would caution people that this book may not be for everyone.
