Kitty Hawk meets up with her old friend, Charlie, in Rome, and the two become involved in a mysterious international intrigue. They befriend a group of Italian siblings whose father has a dark past, and it's up to Kitty to follow the clues through secret codes, hidden rooms, and the disturbing history of several long-lost paintings by famous artists.

As always, I adore Kitty's character. She is better than Nancy Drew! Her incredible kindness and insatiable curiosity propel her into the most marve Kitty Hawk meets up with her old friend, Charlie, in Rome, and the two become involved in a mysterious international intrigue. They befriend a group of Italian siblings whose father has a dark past, and it's up to Kitty to follow the clues through secret codes, hidden rooms, and the disturbing history of several long-lost paintings by famous artists.

As always, I adore Kitty's character. She is better than Nancy Drew! Her incredible kindness and insatiable curiosity propel her into the most marvelous adventures. I love that her reaction to almost everything is, "Let's go! Let's find out! Let's jump in!" She is such an energetic character, and that energy shines off every page.

Charlie. Ah, Charlie, my darling dear. I adore him so much, and I LOVED seeing him reconnecting with Kitty in this book. Same old reliable Charlie. There are several times when Kitty and Charlie are in the middle of some insane crisis, and Kitty says something like, "I knew it would be okay, because Charlie was in control." Charlie is a man of action. He assesses the situation, and jumps in with a solution, or a well-placed punch to someone's jaw. But he's also content to sit back and let Kitty take the reins. He respects and appreciates her instincts and her flashes of brilliance. The two of them have such a great balance.

I was completely enthralled with the mysterious plot! Every clue that was solved only led to another question, another code, or another action-filled encounter with a thieving spy. I've always hated math, but I read every word of those complex math-based code-breaking scenes on the edge of my seat!
I especially loved the rich European history that is woven into the story, as Kitty and Charlie travel through Germany, Austria, and Italy.

My only complaint is that I thought the ending was weak. There is some resolution, but many questions are left unanswered. I needed to know more in so many areas of the story, and I was disappointed. (Kitty was disappointed too, so at least we were in there together.) Not only was the mystery sort of left hanging in midair, but I felt like the relationship between Charlie and Kitty was left hanging as well. I can only hope that that was on purpose, to leave lots of room for further development between those two in the future books.

There had better be future books, and SOON! I need me some more Kitty Hawk in my life!

I have to say I really liked this one! I wasn't sure what I was going into when I saw this was going to be about art theft, because it seemed like it could go one of two ways: either really exciting or just lacklustre. Luckily it was the former. I never would've thought I would be interested in this type of thing, but now it's got me looking for more books about classic art.

That familiar feel of mystery and adventure was still felt in this installment, which I think is a pretty impress ...more

The atmosphere of Rome is just as it’s described in the book. Crazy, crazy busy, but there are always little alleys or back streets with only a few people on them. I loved when Kitty went to the different tourist sites because I’VE BEEN THERE, TOO. It’s seriously so crazy that I’ve been to Rome, and I loved every second of it. Highly recommend...

After her adventures in London and Ireland Kitty is on her way to Rome to meet Charlie, the friend she made during her escapade in the Yukon. No sooner is Kitty on Italian soil than she and Charlie find themselves involved in a very mysterious and alarming set of circumstances. Enjoying an after dinner ice cream they are swept up in a chase to apprehend a pickpocket, and literally run into Matteo and Vega, upsetting Matteo’s cart full of walnuts.

Charlie’s scraped and bloodied knee necessitates them going to Matteo and Vega’s house where the mystery of the masterpieces begins. Kitty discovers a painting by Van Gogh, which has been hanging on the wall for years, unknown as such to Matteo and his sisters and the first of many with questionable ownership and/or stolen by the Nazis during WW2.

Events spiral as Kitty, Charlie and their new friends are startled by an intruder, find a secret room with a radio receiver and discover there is an unbelievable amount of stolen artwork worth millions. Trying to break seemingly impossible codes and follow the clues takes them all over Europe by way of Salzburg, Vienna, Munich, Bolzano and Nuremberg.

As always, Iain Reading describes the countries and places vividly and interestingly. Kitty and Charlie’s visit to the site which once housed the Nazi Concentration Camp of Dachau gave me chills. The lingering atmosphere of horror and sadness is tangible. The story is complemented and strengthened with the addition of lots of information woven into the narrative, and the threads of historical facts in the basis of the plot. The ‘Some Further Reading’ section at the end of the book is full of documentation relevant to places, occurrences and events in the book, with links for further exploration.

Another captivating and entertaining adventure, rich in details and fascinating facts, with a friendly and enthusiastic heroine. Kitty’s character is evolving, the more she learns of the world and people, from both a good and bad perspective. I enjoyed Charlie’s return as a main character and the relationship between him and Kitty, considering their initial introduction at the beginning of the series. The ending leaves some unanswered questions and unsolved mysteries which adds to Kitty’s credibility. Maybe they will be resolved as Kitty continues on her round the world trip… or possibly not. Awaiting Kitty’s next adventure….. ...more

First of all, I read this series out of order. I read book four first, and then went back to read them from the beginning. The series starts with Kitty in Alaska, and finishes with her in Rome, with still probably about more than half of her round-the-world-trip to go.

Don’t get me wrong, I had my issues with the pacing and the author not knowing who his target audience were, but the world seems to have gone quiet on Kitty. The author hasn’t updated the Twitter page since June 2018 and the official website only lists books 1-5.

So where are the rest of the books?

I am hoping that the author has just taken a break from writing, until he decides where to send Kitty next on her adventures. But this is a pretty long break ...

And there’s so much left unanswered in this book. Kitty finally discovers she can’t solve every puzzle thrown her way. There’s the reappearance of Charlie (and not just in email form) and the old and tired will-they-won’t-they saga.

I honestly don’t know what to feel about this series. I liked the fourth book. I was a bit iffy about the first two, and then the third and fifth books, I think the author was starting to find his feet, and where he wanted the storylines and clues to go. I wanted to help solve the clues, and uncover the mysteries, which I think were a little lacking from the first two. But there’s the mix of childishness and a potential romance, which makes me think the author’s intended target audience were muddled in his head. It’s like when they tried to make Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys collaborate.

I really hope the author finishes this series, as I’m unsure if at the moment I would recommend it, particularly if you’re a completist like me. The series feels unfinished and the author really needs to do something, as four years is too long to wait for a new part in the series. He’s not Diana Gabaldon! ...more

The other books could all pass as stand alones, but knowledge of the previous adventures really makes this one.

After meeting u Kitty Hawk and the Mystery of the Masterpieces is the 5th book in the Kitty Hawk series by Iain Reading. I absolutely love this series, but highly recommend reading it in order. that is more important with this installment than any of the previous books. The other books could all pass as stand alones, but knowledge of the previous adventures really makes this one.

In this volume our teenage seaplane pilot and amateur detective Kitty Hawk continues her epic flight around the world. After meeting up with an old friend in the eternal city of Rome, Kitty Hawk unexpectedly stumbles (almost literally) into a bizarre mystery involving creepy disembodied voices, secret hidden rooms, unbreakable mathematical codes, ominous chain-smoking strangers and an array of plundered artworks by such famous masters as Claude Monet, Camille Pissarro and Vincent van Gogh. With the help of friends both old and new, Kitty Hawk follows a trail of cryptic clues that leads her on a breathless tour across a quintessentially European landscape, from ancient Roman Italy to the darkest corners of Germany, Austria, and beyond. As with the previous books in the series, this new installment is filled with fascinating and highly Google-able locations and history.

Kitty Hawk and the Mystery of the Masterpieces is fast paced and intriguing mystery. Kitty and Charlie (who we first met in book 1) meet up in Rome and find themselves deeply embroiled in a new mystery. Missing masterpieces are noticed on the walls of a new friend's home. Soon a mysterious radio message, thieves, car and scooter chases, and a grand tour of several European cities keep the characters and the readers on the edge of their seats. I love that readers get to learn bits of history and obscure knowledge as we follow along with Kitty on her adventures. I also liked that this installment had a little less of Kitty talking to herself, and more of her thinking about some of the darker moments of our global history. I also like that readers that get really involved can easily google along and follow up with the resources and information included at the end of the book.

Kitty Hawk and the Mystery of the Masterpieces is another fantastic installment to Kitty's adventures. if you enjoy mysteries, particularly those that teach real history along the way, this is a must read series. Middle grade readers through adult readers can fully enjoy this series and sleuth along with Kitty. I am both eager to see how Kitty's trip will end, and sad to know that it will.

There are currently 5 books in the Kitty Hawk Flying Detective Agency Series: Kitty Hawk and the Curse of the Yukon Gold, Kitty Hawk and the Hunt for Hemingway's Ghost, Kitty Hawk and the Icelandic Intrigue, Kitty Hawk and the Tragedy of the RMS Titanic, and Kitty Hawk and the Mystery of the Masterpieces. ...more

While in their house she is admiring some paintings hanging on the wall in their father's house. She recognizes one of the as being a painting that was stolen from a museum in Amsterdam. Mateo and Vega her new friends call their sister who brings an art expert. She declares that all of them are original pieces of art. One is a Van Gogh, one a Pissaro, and one a Monet. None of them have any idea where their father could have possibly gotten them. They call the police and spend a sleepless night waiting for the police to show up the next day. When they return from dinner the next night Charlie hears a noise. As he proceeds down the hall a portion of the wall springs open and someone runs out, knocking everyone over. None of them knew of the secret room. One mystery is solved when they hear the voice again and realize it is coming from a radio. Growing up in the house Mateo often told of hearing a scary voice. Because of his great imagination no one believed him. The room and radio backed up to his bedroom. That is the least of the mysteries. This book will take them into multiple places in Germany. Will they find the answers they are looking for to help Mateo and his sisters learn about their deceased father's part in all of this? You will need to read this to find out. I love mystery books and this one involved code breaking. For this, Kitty will call on her friend Richard who we met in the last book Kitty Hawk and the Tragedy of the RMS Titanic. He will help her break the code. For me one of the fun things, even though she gives the answer in the book was working the code. I loved it. There was even a musical code that was related to the people involved. I actually went to my computer and opened a virtual piano to play the codes so that I could hear the songs. I had so much fun, and learned so much from this book. That might be why this is one of my students' favorite series on my mystery shelf. Pick up this series and travel the world and have a mysterious adventure with Kitty Hawk and her friends. You won't regret it. This is the best mystery series out there that actually teaches history in a fun way. ...more
