The Deposition — Katherine E. Kreuter

It is April in paris, and G.B. is plotting the caper of capers. Central to her scheme are her artist/lover Simone Franklin; an aging quartet of French feminists as ludicrous as they are lovable; and Claude Monet's famous Sunrise, a painting that gave impressionism its name. At the same time, G.B. is writing a novel in the form of a lawyer's deposition that lays bare the intimate story of Simone and her former lover Aggie Gretch. A series of startling depositions, both legal and illegal follows, as G.B.'s twin tales throw the reader more curves than the River Seine. This provacative and hilarious novel by the author of the Paige Taylor Mystery Series resonates with gasps and guffaws. Buried feelings surface and relationships unravel as the caper to end all capers writes its own ending.
