It remained suspenseful to the very end. Virginia painted a very good picture of the area where the mystery begins, also of other places the story took Anne and Naomi to on their &quot;dangerous journey&quot; through Spain, France and Italy.<br /> I developed an attachment to certain characters in the book, despite their questionable intentions! The author's interest and knowledge of art is appreciated too throughout the story. A very good read on a snowy winter day!</div> </div> <div class="imageTiles" style="font-family:Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif;margin-top:5px;"> </div> <div class="clearboth txtsmall gt9 vtStripe" style="font-family:Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif;clear:both;padding-top:9px;font-size:12px;line-height:16px;"> </div>
