Hello, Legerdemain

What I liked

Congratulations on getting this story into today's "Short Stories Newsletter (December 7, 2016)" 

I really love the twist in this story. It's fantastic.

What might need work

There were two things that felt non sequitur to me. The first was his assumption his uncle wanted him to spy. However, I may have misread that. Was he exclaiming that his uncle wanted him to be a spy or stating that his uncle had spied on him? It was unclear to me. Second, his statement that if he found the painting had been stolen then he would steal it back and then sell it didn't match very well with his constant claims that he never intended to steal it.

Thank you for sharing!

Best wishes,

Bob
