Un talent pour le crime

The setting adds a glamorous yet dangerous backdrop that feels authentic. I'm curious whether the author drew from real art world scandals or crafted it purely from imagination.

The story became quite detailed in the investigation, which was engaging but also made me wonder if that was intentional to build suspense or just a writing choice.

There are so many authentic details about the era and the art scene—did the author do a lot of research or rely on creative license to craft the narrative?
