A highly entertaining tale with more twists than a Chubby Checker rerun! I liked the true historical aspect of the book as well. Between all the forgeries, I'm still not 100% sure where the real Mona Lisa ended up. I really liked Edourdo de Valifierno and his motley crew. I always figure the writer did a great job drawing up a character if I find my self on the 'villan's' side. I thought the best twist of all was that (view spoiler)

One of the better selections out of my history mystery book club in a while - has a bit of that Ocean's Eleven feel while still deeply connected to its place in time. A fun little caper that would make a great beach read.
