review 1: It takes the theft of the Mona Lisa by an Italian Laborer at the beginning of the 20th Century as its starting point. A con-artist whose usual scam is to sell forgeries of art he pretends that he has stolen decides to undertake a larger job. He plans to actually steal the Mona Lisa, sell several forged copies of it, and then return the original to the museum. He is after all a con-artist, not an art thief. He works with a team of petty criminals who are like family to him. A love interest, running away from her evil, millionaire husband, and a determined police officer complicate the story.
review 2: I finished this book in three days. The plot was that interesting to me. But, I have to say that my attention started to drift near the end. The main romance seeme... mored pretty contrived and there were a few scenes ripped straight from the romantic comedy playbook. But! I enjoyed it for the most part. As I said, the plot was very engaging for most of the book and I thought that a lot of the characters were pretty well developed. I wouldn't really call it a mystery, though, as it's from the perspectives of the criminals. less
