Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
From the USA Today bestselling author of The Lucifer Gospel
There is truth in art. But the truth can kill.
Young archaeologist Finn Ryan is laboring for a London auction house when she gets some unlikely luck. Along with the handsome young nobleman Billy Pilgrim, she's inherited a house in Amsterdam, a cargo ship off Borneo South Pacific, and what appears to be a fake Rembrandt.
But the fake hides a real Rembrandt portrait, which in turn hides a clue to a centuries-old mystery. Finn and Billy aren't the only ones who know what is at stake-and what is waiting to be found at the bottom of the South Pacific. Pursued around the globe by ruthless adversaries, Finn and Billy are thrown into the hunt for a forgotten treasure that could change their lives forever-or end their lives in an instant.

I read this book in 2 sittings. It was certainly no literary gem, but it really held my interest. Great story and good characters typical of the great number of books coming out now similar to the DaVinci Code.

I love a good suspense novel, with the "romance" and graphic violence. I was very pleasantly surprised when I stumbled upon this book. In addition to an exciting read, I loved the enter weavings of facts within the fiction. I enjoyed the book and finished more informed about history than with a usual suspense/adventure. I immediately purchased 3 more of the series and have enjoyed them equally. I have not read the introduction title, Michaelango's Notebook, based on negative reviews on this website, but having finished the last four, I may go back and give it a try. The ones I have read have certainly been far and away better than the reviews posted for the series beginning.

The plot was very simplistic, the characters are bland, and there are very few plot twists in this book. This is not what I look for in a suspense novel. The author throws in just about every cliche in order to make the plot work, there are just too many coincidences to make the tale seem plausible, and there is just no depth to the story. Don't waste your time or money on this one.

This is a good beach read or plane book. Some of it could have been cut out but if it was, the book wouldn't be considered a novel. This is the second book I have read by this author and can't say he is a bad writer, but this is not up to DaVinci levels where a thriller is concerned. Again, good and just short of fast paced. Good enough to read and leave on a park bench for someone else to find.

I enjoyed this novel, but found the action a bit slower than Christopher's other works. If I hadn't read Michelangelo's Notebook, I do not know if the character development would have been compelling enough for me to rate this book 4 out of 5 stars. The author does a great job describing settings and historical information, but the secondary characters are not very well fleshed out. I enjoyed it, and would recommend it, but you may want to read other novels by the author very first with the character Finn Ryan so you are invested in her welfare when reading this work.
