The 1st chapter of this book was great but in the 2nd we get this. As a character description this is fine. But the author goes on to establish that this large woman* is loud (with a honking quality to her voice) & a bit awkward/obnoxious. But hey, she's able to use her "formidable body" to clear a path through a crowded room. ? ⬇️

With a background in art restoration & consulting & also being the daughter of an infamous art forger, Alix London knows a #Masterpiece when she sees it. I‘ve only read the first two books in this mystery series so far. The first book is set in the Santa Fe art scene with the emphasis on Georgia O'Keeffe's work & a newly discovered painting that Alix is hired to authenticate.🎨📚
pickA Dangerous Talent was a pleasant surprise--I didn't really know what to expect. The book focuses on Alix London, an art connoisseur whose father was disgraced a decade ago at the center of an art forgery scandal. Alix is struggling to make her away in the art world while living down her father's corruption. She is hired by Chris, who needs her advice about a priceless work by Georgia O'Keeffe. ⬇️
pickA low-slung Lamborghini cruises along a curvy, narrow road through scenic NM mountains. Will Alix London and Christine LeMay survive when a tailgating pickup truck and a tractor trailer barreling down the wrong side of the road try to force them through the guardrail and down a cliff? This chase is the most thrilling moment. After that, the resolution of the mystery was anticlimactic. I found the mastermind behind the mystery to be a let-down. 👇
pickI love books that have an element of art crime!! I went on a forgery/heist reading bender several years ago and am now a sucker for all books with these themes. Fun entertaining read. A+ narration. #audiobook
