Review title: Intriguing start. Flat finish.
Product review: The book started out with an interesting premise: After 500 years, a hidden inscription on a famous painting is revealed right before the painting is to be sold at auction. And murders occur which seem to be connected with the mysterious story of the painting. And the best way to uncover the mysteries of the hidden message and the murders is by decyphering a chess match depicted on the painting. Oh, how exciting. Well, it is interesting for a while and the chess puzzle is cute, but in the end... The ending was a disappointment. And the story about the painting just got to be too much. It had potential.
