Publisher's summary

Determined to sever his ties with the Office, Gabriel Allon has retreated to the windswept cliffs of Cornwall with his beautiful Venetian-born wife, Chiara. But once again his seclusion is interrupted by a visitor from his tangled past: the endearingly eccentric London art dealer Julian Isherwood. As usual, Isherwood has a problem. And it is one only Gabriel can solve.

In the ancient English city of Glastonbury, an art restorer has been brutally murdered and a long-lost portrait by Rembrandt mysteriously stolen. Despite his reluctance, Gabriel is persuaded to use his unique skills to search for the painting and those responsible for the crime. But as he painstakingly follows a trail of clues leading from Amsterdam to Buenos Aires and, finally, to a villa on the graceful shores of Lake Geneva, Gabriel discovers there are deadly secrets connected to the painting. And evil men behind them.

Before he is done, Gabriel will once again be drawn into a world he thought he had left behind forever, and will come face-to-face with a remarkable cast of characters: a glamorous London journalist who is determined to undo the worst mistake of her career, an elusive master art thief who is burdened by a conscience, and a powerful Swiss billionaire who is known for his good deeds but may just be behind one of the greatest threats facing the world.

Filled with remarkable twists and turns of plot, and told with seductive prose, The Rembrandt Affair is more than just summer entertainment of the highest order. It is a timely reminder that there are men in the world who will do anything for money.

International Conspiracy, Spies, Art Theft, Intrigue & More

Very worthwhile listen. Really good plot that is quite plausible dealing with international conspiracy, spies, art theft, intrigue, and more.

Be sure to listen to the author’s note at end. While he says fiction, if you read the news or know a little history you’ll recognise some threads of truth. Quite illuminating for those of you who don’t and certainly will give you some things to think about.

Painted with a broad brush...

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I would. A broad spectrum of characters and plot-lines to cover multiple likes.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

Yes. Silva has the ability to change direction in mid-step...and does so frequently.

What about Phil Gigante’s performance did you like?

I like the voice qualities and the diverse characters he crafts with his voice, volume, and variance.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

Covered by blood and blankets of intrigue...

Any additional comments?

no

Another great Gabriel tale!

I keep reading these bad reviews of the narrator and I don’t get it. It was hard to adjust to him when the other narrator left, but now I think of him as Gabriel‘s voice. His performance as a woman’s voice is so well done. As I said, I don’t get it??

Fair

As a fan of Daniel Silva's and the Alon series which I've heard everyone, I waited with anticipation for this book to became available on Audible.com. I had read the reviews and they were mostly right on so I won't repeat what's already been stated. I will remain a fan and hope that the next book will redeem this one.

Emotional listen...

My first Gabriel Allon and I intend to return to the beginning. Emotional, painful story underlies the crime they are attempting to solve. I loved the characters and the narrator performed each perfectly, I could picture them in my mind. Easily a relisten for the future.

Boring.

Boring sums it up. I could not read it to the end. The narrator wasn't bad but he couldn't breath any life into this book. Unfortunate for the reader.
