"Love and Murder" by Irv Arenberg delves deep into the controversial life and death of the renowned artist Vincent van Gogh, challenging the widely held belief that his death was a suicide. Arenberg takes readers on a captivating journey through history, meticulously investigating the last seventy days of van Gogh's life in Auvers-sur-Oise, France, to uncover the truth behind his demise.

From the outset, the book captivates with its promise of intrigue and excitement. Arenberg lays a solid foundation, introducing readers to the key suspects and setting the stage for a real-life mystery that unfolds with each turn of the page.

Vincent van Gogh emerges as a complex and captivating figure, his tumultuous journey of self-discovery resonating with readers. Through Arenberg's narrative, readers gain access to the enigmatic artist's psyche, appreciating his resilience and creative genius. Other characters, such as Dr. Paul-Ferdinand and his son Paul Jr., add further intrigue to the story, enhancing its depth and complexity.

The book is well-edited and easily digestible, despite its historical context and length. Arenberg's storytelling prowess keeps readers engaged, sparking intrigue and suspicion that drives them to uncover the truth alongside the author.

In summary, "Love and Murder" is a must-read for art enthusiasts, historians, and mystery lovers alike.
