review 1: I have never read Carla Neggers before and should have taken a clue from the book list I found that showed that she does write some mystery and some romance. I detest romance novels, so was reluctant, but gave a mystery a try. FBI art expert Emma Sharp was a formerly almost a nun at an art loving convent. She is summoned by one of the nuns to look at a painting, but before she sees the painting, the nun is murdered and the painting goes missing. Enter Colin Donovan, FBI undercover agent. He and Emma search for the killer and the painting. Of course, Ms. Neggers can't resist the romance angle. Sheesh, a nun just got her head bashed in, someone is trying to murder Emma, and priceless art is missing. Can we, I don't know, focus on the job instead of his broad shoulder... mores and piercing eyes? Otherwise it is a decent story.
review 2: blah, couldn't even finish it. The premise was good but the characters were all off. For some reason, the whiny, boring lead girl is all freaked out that someone may discover she was once, for a short time, training to be a nun. Now she's an FBI agent (although I couldn't buy into that with the persona she portrayed) with issues with everyone from the town priest to her immediate supervisor. The first 11 chapters were filled with all kinds of "coincidental" revelations that were all over the place chronologically and geographically. I hope all of that was pulled together into a cohesive plot by then end but I'll never know. less
