About the book:
Sketchy politics
and a palette of lies can’t stop Serena Jones from exposing the mastermind
behind the daring theft of a priceless work of art.
Serena Jones has
a passion for recovering lost and stolen art – one that’s surpassed only by her
zeal to uncover the truth about who murdered her grandfather. She’s joined the
FBI Art Crime Team with the secret hope that one of her cases will lead to his
killer. Now, despite her mother’s pleas to do something safer – like get
married – Serena’s determined to catch thieves and black market traders.
When a local
museum discovers an irreplaceable Monet missing, Serena leaps into action – and
a whole heap of trouble.
My review:
An incredible
mystery that also made me laugh!
This book was a
wonderful mixture of mystery, romantic interest, and comedic moments. I
absolutely love Serena Jones. She is a wonderful FBI agent who also has some
hang-ups that she has to deal with. She is surrounded by a whole cast of
supporting characters. Some of them are very straight forward but others can
only be described as quirky. Among the quirky ones my favorites are Aunt Martha
and Harold. They gave me a lot to laugh about.
The plot is a
current case Serena is trying to solve with mention made of a cold case that
weighs heavy on her mind. By the end of this book the current case is dealt
with. I have a feeling that the cold case will be continued in future books in
this series.
There were a lot
of well-crafted twists and turns in the story that really kept me guessing.
Sandra did a marvelous job of throwing out different possibilities to confuse
the reader. It was fun to try and unravel the mystery along with Serena.
