{From the Publisher}:

One enigmatic smile. Two passionate protectors. And a relentlessly ticking clock.

August 1944. Paris is on the cusp of liberation. As the soldiers of the Third Reich flee the Allied advance, they ravage the country and steal countless pieces of irreplaceable art. In fact, Reichsmarschall Hermann Göring will stop at nothing to claim the most valuable one of all—the Mona Lisa—as a postwar bargaining chip.

But the woman with the mysterious smile has some very determined protectors. Can Swiss OSS agents Gabi Mueller and Eric Hofstadler rescue Leonardo da Vinci’s masterpiece before it falls into German hands?

With nonstop action and intrigue, Chasing Mona Lisa is sure to get your adrenaline pumping as you join the chase to save the most famous painting in the world. From war-ravaged Paris to a posh Swiss chateau, the race is on–and the runners are playing for keeps.

{My Thoughts}:

I was in love with this book from page one!! I love a good WWII story, and this one did NOT disappoint. From fast-paced action, to relationship issues, to an intense storyline, Chasing Mona Lisa had all the right ingredients for a great read.

Though this book was not advertised as a sequel, its continuation of the story of Gabi Mueller and Eric Hofstadler {characters originally introduced in The Swiss Courier} was a pleasant surprise for me. I thoroughly enjoyed watching these characters develop both as individuals and as a romantic couple.

Also, I very much enjoyed the historical details of the book – from the people to the places to the atmosphere and the interactions of characters – the details were a huge factor in making this story a success.

I give Chasing Mona Lisa five out of five stars.
