I love all of Carol Goodman's books, but I am a little partial to her first. She is rather good at making intelligent, yet not perfect, leading women. The books are not overly suspenseful, but they are a good mix of mystery and romance. If you like to feel as if your are in the place where the story is happening, this is the book for you. She is exceptional at doing just that. AND you get a little art history thrown into the mix
