The Girl Who Knew Da Vinci

Out of Time Thriller Series, Book 1

De: Belle Ami

Narrado por: Gary Furlong

In the spirit of The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown and Shadows of the Stone Benders by K. Patrick Donoghue....The Girl Who Knew Da Vinci by Belle Ami unravels an unforgettable mystery.

Three destinies, one remarkable painting.

Will her visions lead her to the truth?

Art historian Angela Renatus is haunted by dreams of Leonardo da Vinci and a mysterious painting of Giuliano Medici and his mistress Fioretta Gorini. A painting that, as far as the world knows, doesn't exist. Compelled by her visions, Angela is determined to find out the truth.

When Angela is contacted by art detective Alex Caine, she's shocked to learn that he too is seeking the same painting. Alex's client, a wealthy German financier, is determined to clear the name of his late uncle, Gerard Jaeger, an art historian, who went missing in Florence during World War II. In letters written before his disappearance, the historian describes his love affair with a beautiful young Italian woman named Sophia Caro, and the discovery of an extraordinary painting by the great master himself - a painting depicting Giuliano and Fioretta.

Angela and Alex journey to Florence in search of the priceless treasure. Is it a lost da Vinci, potentially worth hundreds of millions of dollars, or a wild goose chase that will only lead to a dead end? But someone else is searching for the elusive painting - Alberto Scordato is a powerful man in the art world and a sociopath who will stop at nothing, even murder, to get what he wants. Scordato knows something about Angela that even she doesn't know, something that could threaten both Angela and Alex's lives, forcing them into the crosshairs of fate.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"'The Girl Who Knew Da Vinci' is a fast-paced romantic suspense novel. It is highly sensual, with the bulk of the story focusing on the characters and the chemistry they share. The premise is a fun and unique twist on the paranormal romance genre, with multiple narratives spun together in a way that makes the listener continue on, needing to know what happens next. Angela and Alex especially have a heated chemistry that spans multiple lifetimes as they travel not just through Italy, but also through time itself via their past lives. Gary Furlong gives an awesome performance. His accents are spot on, and the distinction between characters is so well done it sometimes feels as though there are multiple narrators. His performance is also full of heart, making it easy to fall into the emotions of the characters. This is a good book to listen to while on the go or while cozying up in bed. Readers who enjoy historical fiction, time travel, adventure, and steamy romance will especially enjoy it!" (Chelsea Anderson, InD'tale Magazine)

Cool idea for a book

The overall story was good. I'd like to have some background of why the lead had this gift. Also, come on, please can we have female leads who are completely incompetent and wussy?

A sexy romance and art thrillers

The Girl Who Knew DaVinci is a romance and art thriller with a supernatural element. The story is action packed and entertaining, though once the characters get intimate, it tends to spend a bit too much time with the characters having sex.

Recommended for adults only- contains graphic sexual content.

The narrator of the audiobook is very talented, and I enjoy listening to him read books. However, when he is using his basic narration voice, he can be a bit monotone. He doesn’t have that problem when he is voicing the characters.

I received a complimentary copy of this audiobook. This is my honest and voluntary review.

Fun Mystery

Reincarnation, ghost, hidden Da Vinci from centuries ago. Makes for a fun mystery. Really enjoyed this book. The reason for the 4 stars instead of 5 is I hate that Alex called Angela "baby" ALL the time. It got quite annoying. But the story was really fun and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Gary Furlong did a nice job narrating.

Very entertaining

I really liked the story. I would like to know when the next book in the series is coming out. I paid for this one and would buy the next one.

I love this series!

My first read/listen from author Belle Ami. An enjoyable romantic mystery. I'll be reading more in this series & from this author.
