Description
When Tia reluctantly agrees to look after Bindu, her peevish, grumpy granddaughter, during half term, the last thing that she expects is to spend the week unravelling the theft of a seventeenth century painting Head of a Girl, ‘Hedova’.
Hoping to start a new and more exciting life, Robert sets himself up as an art thief. His first target? A picture from the Whitler Gallery, where Tia and her recently widowed colleague Douglas work.
Follow Douglas and Tia, an unlikely detective duo, as they investigate the theft and race frantically across the city to prevent the painting from being destroyed. Can Robert prove that he’s got what it takes to embark on a life of crime? And can Tia and Douglas save Hedova?
What’s Going on at The Whitler? is a gentle detective story with elements of humour and fantasy, all punctuated by commentary from a Greek chorus of talking portraits for a unique twist.

This is an entertaining and well plotted mystery that kept me hooked and guessing. i had fun and found it entertaining and well written.
A bit slow at the beginning, gripping after some chapters.
Recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine

This book was such a fun surprise of a read. It started a little slow but once I got into it I was hooked. It felt like the an adult version of The Mixed-Up Files of Mrs Basil E Frankweiler, which is indeed one of my favourite middle school books.
It has a museum, mystery, mistakes and some characters that you can’t help but fall for. Robert might not be the ideal burglar but his blunders and heart draw you in.
This was a fun, feel good read that I recommend you pick up.
Thank you @netgalley and the @bookguild for the ARC!
