The Gallery Assistant: A Novel

I was a bit disappointed in this book as it was very slow-paced and the main character was a bit of a twat. The Gallery Assistant brings us back to the year of 9/11 and its immediate aftermath. The author uses this event as a point of reference throughout the book, and the main character reveals what she was doing on that day towards the end of the story. Chloe Harlow is a hot mess. When a newly signed artist ends up dead, Chloe knows she was one of the last people to see the artist. The problem is, Chloe doesn’t remember what happened that night. When her boss, Lou, disappears, the gallery owners tell Chloe it was a mutual decision. The problem is, Lou is nowhere to be found. Chloe starts digging deeper into the night the artist was murdered, finding out that some of the people in her life are not exactly forthcoming in their endeavors.

I wanted to like this book because the story was rather good, but the main character was annoying and made bad decisions and the middle of the book dragged on endlessly.
