Darkly

Darkly, by Marisa Pessl

Dia is one of seven interns selected for an exclusive opportunity to work with the renown (and defunct) Darkly company. Things are not what they seem as the interns dive into the history of founder Louisiana Veda and her stolen masterpiece.

Pessl poured so much love and effort into the legend of Louisiana Veda and Darkly that she had little left for our present-day characters. Dia and the other interns fall flat by comparison, which makes the parts of the story not immediately immersed in Veda’s history jarring to read, and the twists a bit farfetched.  Overall I liked it and would read again. After all, no one can resist a Darkly.
