Author: Ritter Ames

Stars: 5 out of 5

Review:


Ritter Ames once again surpasses my expectation with Fatal Forgeries book 4 of the Bodies of Art series. The story starts off with a bang, slows down just enough for afternoon tea than takes off again bring readers into the world of art forgeries leaving reader dying for more.
I have always found that with series they start off with a bang but die down towards book 4 leaving readers disappointed. Not with the Bodies of Art series. The characters, story, art and locations and next adventure only seem to build on top of each other each.
From book one to now book 4 each book bringing a new excitement, a new story and a new love for the characters readers have met and new ones they will meet.

What the author is able to do so well is bring readers up to date without slowing down the story. Readers new to the Bodies of Art series they will not necessarily need to start with book one to understand what is going on completely in book 4.

The bodies series remind me of the style of Ocean movies where the readers are reading one things but what might be happening is completely different and readers will not be disappointed.
Readers will feel they are running a race but with moments of being able to slow down and dig into the characters back stories and why act, why they feel and why each one has a passion for art recovery.
Ritter Ames is able to bring part of the world alive. To the point readers will feel like they are walking the streets of London and so much more.
Ritter is able to take a write a story bringing the characters and locations to life almost with out any effort.

Thank to you to Henry Press and Netgalley for this Advance Copy.

Synopsis:
When art recovery expert Laurel Beacham’s personal and professional worlds collide, she learns no good theft goes unpunished. Incomplete intel and a missing source compel her to make a huge mistake, and she’s left with a divided team. Every retrieved masterpiece has a price—and the cost of forgeries can be deadly. This time Laurel could lose not only her best lead, but also her most trusted ally.

The stakes have never been higher, forcing her and her partner, Jack, to go on the run, crisscrossing Europe to evade the criminals. Except instead of two masterminds working against them, they realize there might be three. With no time to lose, Laurel and her team must pool their resources and work to set aside their differences before they become the next fatalities.

About The Author:
Ritter Ames
Ritter Ames is the USA Today Bestselling author of the Organized Mysteries series and the Bodies of Art Mysteries series. When she's not writing or brainstorming new mysteries Ritter is usually trying to get her favorite yellow lab to stay out of the pond, or keep her grouchy black cat from trying to give the dog away on Freecycle. Ritter would love to live on a boat and write from far flung locations around the globe, but the dog would constantly have to be fished from the water, and her husband and cat would just complain endlessly about the dog's smell, so staying on land seems to be the only good option to keep her sanity and not get sidetracked from writing.
