First-time novelist Berry weighs in with a hefty thriller that's long on interesting research but sht on thrills. Atlanta judge Rachel Cutler and ex-husband Paul are divced but still care f each other. Rachel's father Karol Bya knows secrets about the famed Amber Room a massive set of intricately carved panels crafted from the precious substance and looted by Nazis during WWII from Russia's Catherine Palace. The disappearance of the panels which together fmed a room remains one of the wld's greatest unsolved art mysteries. Bya's secret gets him killed as two European industrialists/art collects go head to head in a deadly race to find the fabled room. Searching f Bya's killer Rachel and Paul bumble their way to Europe where their naivet? triggers me deaths. Berry has obviously done his homewk and he seems determined to find a place f every fact he's unearthed. The plot slows f descriptions of various art pieces lectures and long internal monologues in which characters examine their innermost feelings and motives in minute detail while also packing in plenty of sex and an abundance of brutal killings. A final confrontation between all the principals ends in a looming Bavarian castle where Rachel is raped. All the right elements are in place but the book is far too long and not as exciting as the ingredients suggest. Readers may end up wishing Berry had written a nonfiction account of the fascinating sty of the Amber Room and skipped the fictional mayhem.
