About the book:
The world of art
theft can be a deadly game – one that Serena Jones understands all too well.
When FBI Special
Agent Serena Jones takes on the case of a forged Dali painting as a favor to
her grandmother, she assumes it will be a typical investigation. Hopefully
collaring the thief will also mean finally measuring up in her grandmother’s
eyes. But the deeper she delves into the forgery and the suspects surrounding
it, the less typical it becomes.
The Dali isn’t
the only painting that’s fallen prey to the forgery-replacing thief, raising
the possibility of a sophisticated theft ring—one with links to dirty cops, an
aspiring young artist, and the unsolved murder of Serena’s grandfather. To make
matters worse, someone connected to the forgeries seems to be determined to
stop Serena’s investigation—no matter the cost.
Another Day,
Another Dali gives the plucky Serena—and readers—a new high-stakes case to
crack. You won’t want to miss a single brushstroke!
My review:
This is another
fantastic mystery!
This book is part
of a “true” series. The plotline of Serena’s murdered grandfather continues in
this book.
I love the cast
of characters in this book. Many of them are the same as in book one. There are
a lot of different quirks and personalities among them. It is fascinating to
see how Serena interacts with each of them and tries to keep a balance between
her profession and dealing with family.
I thoroughly
enjoyed seeing how Aunt Martha “helps” Serena throughout the book. She is so
enthralled with mysteries and trying to solve them herself that she is a riot.
Yet at times she does have some good ideas.
The plot for the
separate mystery in this book is wonderful. I was hooked and knew that I had to
finish the story to find out how it turned out from early on. There are enough
different suspects to confuse things nicely.
There is a second
ongoing story from book one that is very amusing. I can’t wait to see if either
Tanner or Nate will end up being a romantic interest for Serena. She keeps
insisting that they are both “just” friends.
I’m looking
forward to seeing what happens in the next book. I am highly recommending this
wonderful mystery. It gets a 5 star rating from me.
