Customer Reviews
Twists and Turns in Italy
Nick and Isabella both raced to Rome not knowing the other one was going to be there. When both grandmothers reached out to their respective grandchildren asking for help, neither one could stay away when confronted with the grandmothers being a witness to a theft at a local art museum, and as it turns out each of them had family paintings not seen in 50 years in the exhibit, and they were targeted for the theft. After their one and only failure of a meeting that they only agreed to because the grandmothers were pushing for it, they are not crazy to be working together, but will do anything for their grandmothers.
Loved all the twists and turns as they navigate the history of the paintings, about their family members who painted them, and the ever growing circle of suspects. All while trying to stay alive, trying to find the missing paintings, and to keep the grandmothers safe. Loved reading about the various parts of Rome and Italy as the journey went along, and how they have come to realize that first bad impressions aren’t always the best, and how they each struggle with new conflicting emotions that neither was looking for.
Highly recommend. Barbara Freethy never fails to deliver stories that grip you right from the start and keep you guessing as to what will come next.
