he media spotlight is the last thing art thief and forger Sophie
Williams needs. But when one of three long-missing royal portraits turns
up in Germany at her best friend’s art gallery, the spotlight is exactly
what she gets. Since the tragic deaths of Princess Johanna of
Neuhansberg and her two children forty years ago, the whereabouts of
these portraits have been unknown . . . and the timing of their
reappearance—just days before a new prince’s coronation—reignites
questions surrounding the infamous accident.
Then Sophie’s best
friend vanishes, and a rumor about hidden treasure connected to the
paintings surfaces, seemingly confirmed by a cryptic message on the back
of the first canvas. Convinced that finding the other two portraits
will lead to her friend, Sophie begins a twisty investigation that pits
her against other ruthless treasure hunters, a handsome investigator who
seems to dog her trail at every turn, and a mysterious group that
offers help, wearing an emblem identical to one on the painting.
From
Germany’s grand castles and soaring cathedrals through the Alps to the
canals of Venice, Sophie must choose her allies carefully if she hopes
to find the portraits, rescue her best friend—and perhaps save a
throne—before time runs out.

My Review
A story that has so much going for it, we start out with returning a painting, but keep on building to a coronation, and along the way there are women being stolen, but why? Answers come, but what a journey you embark on once you turn the first page.
There is a group of people that are committed to helping, and they go above and beyond, while others are up to evil. Yes, this is a good vs evil read, and you will be page turning for answers, along with whom will survive.
This read is Christian Suspense at it's best!
I received this book through Net Galley and the Publisher Tyndale, and was not required to give a positive review.
