Title: "Something very wrong"
Review: Balliet writes of Ms. Hussey's teaching: "This year was beginning to feel either like something very right or very wrong--it was hard to tell which." My experience reading "Chasing Vermeer" felt remarkably similar. Unfortunately, a story which at times felt so right was steered off course by endless, muddled coincidences leading to an improbable, bolt-from-the-Blue resolution. Balliett's writing, like Ms. Hussey's teaching, follows the formula of "we're-in-this-together-and-it-might-be-dangerous." Indeed. Dangerously disappointing.
