About the book:
It is August 1944 and Paris is on the cusp of liberation. As the soldiers of the Third Reich flee the Allied advance, they ravage the country, stealing countless pieces of art. Reichsmarschall Hermann Göring will stop at nothing to claim the most valuable one of all, the Mona Lisa, as a post-war bargaining chip to get him to South America. Can Swiss OSS agents Gabi Mueller and Eric Hofstadler rescue DaVinci’s masterpiece before it falls into German hands?
With nonstop action, Chasing Mona Lisa is sure to get readers’ adrenaline pumping as they join the chase to save the most famous painting in the world. From war-ravaged Paris to a posh country chateau, the race is on–and the runners are playing for keeps.

My Review
The book was well written and gave me A LOT of history to digest from this period in time. Very well researched and specific with events, the general unrest, fears, and moods of the people involved at this time. War is horrible and affects every aspect of life.
I was particularly fascinated by the story of the Mona Lisa painting and the secret journey it was on to keep it safe from Nazi thieves. Moving from one hiding spot to another and even ending up being hung in a little girl’s bedroom is unbelievable. Possibly the most famous painting in the world, and it is truly amazing all that she has been through in over 500 years!
There was technically nothing wrong with this book, but it just didn’t keep me interested enough. Not enough romance, not enough mystery, not enough action, not enough thrills…… You get the point. Good, but not quite good enough. The authors are both veteran pros, so I’m sure it’s not them, it’s just me….
LitFuse & Revell sent me the above book for review purposes. It will allow me to keep the book. I have no other connection to and have received no other compensation from Litfuse or Revell. The blog tour schedule can be found here.
