What A Fascinating Historical Event
This book is promoted as a historical fiction piece but reads like a well documented non fiction work with ample foot notes and inclusion of quotes from primary sources. I will warn that if you are reading this for the mystery aspect you may be disappointed because the book focuses more on the history of Paris, The Mona Lisa, and the emergence of modern art in all of its conflicts with Renaissance art. That being said, I thoroughly enjoyed the book.
There were many theories afloat as to the responsible parties from Picasso and
Apollonaire, to the government in order to deflect tension from the approaching war, to emerging American wealthy intent on increasing their holdings, to those trying to expose the inadequacies of The Louvre security. Scotti lays out the evidence and events in a concise interesting read.1 out of 1 people found this review helpful.

Better News story
A disappointment at best. Stretched from a two page newspaper article to a book with little insight or resolve.

"A Must Read"
After reading this book one can understand why the "Mona Lisa" has reently been moved to a more secure area with massive layers of protective shielding. Ones now taking photos will capture themselves to reflect society today.

Interesting, Not the Da Vinci Code.
I really looked forward to this book. The subject was very interesting and unknown to me. It was not the exciting book that we are used to. The way this was presented made it sound like another "DaVinci Code." However this was very factual reading, not the truly thrilling. I'm glad I read the story, but it is not one of my favorite books.
