Alex London book 2
Art, mystery, forgeries, bad guys. I just can't get into this series like I wanted to. We see Alix's forger father. And other characters from the first book reappear too.

This novel is the second in the "Alix London" series and picks up where the first novel left off. No more dry, dusty New Mexico. The venue has shifted to the Mediterranean, to Greece and Crete, to large motor yachts (with more square footage than my house). Why don't we pronounce the 'c' in yachts?
Ted Ellesworth, FBI agent on the Art Squad, has enlisted Alix to be his eyes and ears on an art auction cruise. Again her talent comes into play and she gets deeper into the dark side of the Albanian crime world that Ted expected. The final scene with the Greek and Albanian police was well executed.
I like how the relationship between Alix and her father continues to develop.
Again the authors have done their "homework" in writing it. This book continues to remind me of Daniel Silva's Gabriel Allon character in that he comes from a family with a strong painter/art background and he's an art restorer.
I'm looking forward to the next novel in the series. Oh, and the Kindle editions are affordable.
