What others are saying about it:

Extremely interesting plot and theme. Loads of detail about various places, and objects plus the workings of the Russian mind. Makes good reading with a lot of interesting and informative detail. I like that in stories and I think there are a lot of readers who like to learn something new when reading a novel. John Fisher, author of Fatal Camino

As a reader who has preferred reading extended science fiction/fantasy and thrillers with characters we follow over many books, such as Robert Jordan, Tom] Clancy's Jack Ryan, etc., I found reading "The Eye of the Beholder" making me wish for more stories of Gwendolyn. Luckily, I discovered that there would be a sequel coming. Thank you

Eye of the Beholder is a fast-paced cross continental adventure that is much more than the standard light fluff the genre is known for. It does what books are supposed to do, not just entertain, but educate as well. I came away with a deeper understanding not only of art, but of other cultures as well. Especially with Covid-19 restricting travel, books like this are a much needed voyage into cultures different than our own. Written by someone who has obviously lived in other cultures and can relate the differences and similarities between them, it is a gateway drug into that intoxicating state of wanting to know more. I found myself perusing my library checking out books on topics brought up by reading Eye of the Beholder.
