Synopsis

Anna Klein is faced with tough choices about her future. Her plum job working as a translator for Captain Henry Cooper, one of the American Monuments Men, means she has a house and an income, as well as hands-on access to some of the world’s most precious art. But her life is falling apart on all fronts: her family is displaced, the boy in her care is being sought by authorities, and she must resolve to finally end her marriage. When she realizes that someone has tampered with two important paintings taken from a Jewish collector—paintings she was charged with safeguarding—Anna is determined to solve the crime. But without hard evidence and no motive, she can prove nothing and as State Department big wigs threaten to shut down the Monument Men’s operation, she and her boss are under special scrutiny. As all signs begin to point to an inconvenient suspect in the crime, she has to play it by the book to keep her job and return the art to its rightful owner, if she can find him.

Disappointing in how poorly executed this mystery was. There was a number of irritants in this book for me. One was the relationship between Cooper and Anna. It was so annoying. He treats her like dirt. If ever there was an instance of an author telling you one thing about a character but showing th......more

Powerful historical fiction The author is adept at voicing the aftermath of the war, its toll on Germany's survivors, the guilt and shame. I stopped often to refresh my history lessons about the Nuremberg trials, the Monuments Men and the Wiesbaden Manifesto. I cannot attest to the ability of Book 2......more

Goodreads review by Jim Bean on February 24, 2024

Complex romantic war story German confiscated Jewish artwork might be the center of this story but the author did an excellent job of providing essential stories supporting both the greed and also the love of those treasured artworks. The author provided painstaking character development between the......more
