Another Day, Another Dali


Another Day, Another Dali
A Serena Jones Mystery
Sandra Orchard
(Revell)
ISBN: 978-0800726690
October 2016/352 pages/$14.99

The world of art theft can be a deadly game--one that Serena Jones understands all too well.

When FBI Special Agent Serena Jones takes on the case of a forged Dali painting as a favor to her grandmother, she assumes it will be a typical investigation. Hopefully collaring the thief will also mean finally measuring up in her grandmother's eyes. But the deeper she delves into the forgery and the suspects surrounding it, the less typical it becomes.

The Dali isn't the only painting that's fallen prey to the forgery-replacing thief, raising the possibility of a sophisticated theft ring--one with links to dirty cops, an aspiring young artist, and the unsolved murder of Serena's grandfather. To make matters worse, someone connected to the forgeries seems to be determined to stop Serena's investigation--no matter the cost.

Another Day, Another Dali gives the plucky Serena Jones--and readers--a new high-stakes case to crack. You won't want to miss a single brushstroke!

MY THOUGHTS

I thoroughly enjoyed the first book in this series, A Fool and His Monet and was delighted to review this one. Easily read as a stand-alone, Another Day, Another Dali plunged me into the world of art theft committed via swapping with forgeries. Once again, Sandra Orchard has penned a lively novel full of twists and turns that keep both heroine Serena Jones and the reader on their toes! As in the previous story, Serena's family adds charm and humor, with her mother begging her to find a safer job and her aunt acting as a self-appointed sleuthing assistant! Orchard weaves in a thread of romance as Serena juggles the friendships and tries to decipher the intentions of Tanner--her partner and mentor--and Nate, her building superintendent and all-round nice guy. Don't miss this fast-paced, action-packed novel.
