Synopsis

Alix London, the art restorer and FBI consultant renowned as the Art Whisperer, can spot a counterfeit masterpiece before the paint even dries. What she can’t see is why an elite European art dealer would offer her big money for a little mirror that’s no more than a homemade gift from her beloved uncle Tiny. Not that Alix would part with it at any price. But when the mirror is abruptly stolen from her home, she realizes that someone sees more in the looking glass than mere sentimental value.When her uncle Tiny disappears mysteriously just after the mirror is stolen, the simple art theft becomes a personal and professional challenge Alix can’t ignore. With backup from her friends in the FBI, her game-for-anything pal Chris, and an aging-but-dogged Italian police detective, she delves into the puzzling case, only to find that there is much more to this theft than meets the eye. Once the Mafia shows up on the scene, Alix’s mission becomes a do-or-die race to find the one possible man with all the answers.

I have to say this book left me with a five-star smile. There are some nifty revelations, a great display of friendship in the partnering of Alix and Chris in a dedicated search effort seeking the whereabouts of Tiny - trying to get to him before the mafia goons succeed, and yet another stellar adve......more

Goodreads review by Bruce on April 29, 2020

This book is the fourth (and last book) in the Alix London series and that leads me to the first problem I had with this book and the entire series. It's too short. There needs to be MORE Alix London books. The books have been getting better and better. The second problem that I have with the books i......more

Goodreads review by Trish on February 27, 2018

This was an okay book. Tiny disappeared and Alix and Chris went looking for him. The theft of a painting 20 or 30 years ago came into play after a few days and Alix’s 300 pound friend, Tiny, was thought to have had a part in the theft. Alix’s had been married only a few days and she lives in Seattle......more

I really liked the characters of this series. I was ready for it to be done though. There were parts of this storyline that I really enjoyed, like learning more about the background of Tiny. Overall it was enjoyable, but over the top at times and a little too coincidental at other times.......more

Goodreads review by Kaitlyn on May 19, 2017

Another excellent entry in this series. The nicely twisty plot is cleverly resolved and several personal conflicts that have developed in the course of the series are also worked out by the end of the book.......more
