Review – A Fool and His Monet

From the Back Cover: Sketchy politics and a palette of lies can’t stop Serena Jones from exposing the mastermind behind the daring theft of a priceless work of art

Serena Jones has a passion for recovering lost and stolen art–one that’s surpassed only by her zeal to uncover the truth about the art thief who murdered her grandfather. She’s joined the FBI Art Crime Team with the secret hope that one of her cases will lead to his killer. Now, despite her mother’s pleas to do something safer–like get married–Serena’s learning how to go undercover to catch thieves and black market traders.

When a local museum discovers an irreplaceable Monet missing, Jones leaps into action. The clues point in different directions, and her boss orders her to cease investigating her most promising suspect. But determined to solve the case and perhaps discover another clue in her grandfather’s murder, she pushes ahead, regardless of the danger.

Let me tell you this book is a lot of fun. Sandra Orchard really knows how to tell a story. Serena Jones is an agent with the FBI Art Crime Team and a friend tells her that there has been an art theft. Now she starts the investigation into not only who did it but when was it done and how. There are the most wonderful characters introduced in this book. Serena has a very interesting family and her friends and co-workers are just incredible. Not only will you will not mind spending a few hours with them you will be sorry to have to leave them at the end. Ms. Orchard has delivered us a story that is loaded with action, suspense, romance, intrigue, danger and drama. It will keep you flipping pages as you try to keep up with everything that is happening. I am  looking forward to the next book from this very talented author.
