About this listen

Art conservator Flora Garibaldi is just getting the hang of her new job restoring paintings in Rome, Italy. Then, her policeman boyfriend, Vittorio Bernini, asks her to join a risky search under Rome for a lost trove of Nazi-looted art worth millions. Along with an international team of art experts, they face the daunting task of locating art in miles of underground tunnels.

After they discover evidence of recent digging underground, one of Vittorio’s carabinieri colleagues is murdered. Flora and Vittorio find themselves up against a group of ruthless art thieves who will do anything to prevent the discovery of the art and its return to its rightful Jewish owners.

I enjoyed this book. I did get a bit confused keeping everyone straight with all the Italian names but still enjoyed the mystery. It had a few twist and you send most of the time trying to work out who was helping the bad guys. The story was set in the present but spent a bit of time looking into the past in the form of a diary, which helped you picture what went on and the struggles of the times.
Flora is settling into her new job when her boyfriend asks her boss if the police can hire her to work for them. They have just got word that there is hidden works of art hiding in the catacombs from the Nazis that has never been found and as head of the art squad he has been tasked with tracking it down. Knowing he will need help he turns to Flora and her expertise as an art restorer for help. The problem is word has gotten out and is beating them to every location they decide to look at. The things turn deadly and one of the officers is killed and now more than missing art is at stake. Who can the pair trust because someone is not who they pretend to be. Can Flora keep up working two job and trying to beat a killer to the loot. With flooded tunnels, guns, betrayal and lies only time will tell.
I liked the narrator and thought she did a lot job with all the different accents need for this story.

Flora has hardly settled into to her new job when she is asked to assist in the tracing of a hoard of WW2, Nazi looted, fine art, somewhere in the catacombs of Rome. This is fast paced, full of intrigue and mystery, with a cast of intriguing characters. A murder is added to the mix making this an excellent listen, especially as the writing and narration are very good.

Fine Art, Murder and Catacombs.
