The Trouble with
Mirrors
An Alix London Mystery
Charlotte and Aaron
Elkins
Alix
London, better known as the “art whisperer” has an antique mirror
that was given to her by an old family friend known as Tiny, when she
was a child. Alix doesn't think the mirror is particularly valuable,
more of a keepsake really. But when she and the mirror are pictured
on the cover of an international art magazine someone breaks into her
Seattle condo and steals it.
Soon
after the theft Tiny disappears. Alix, along with the help of her
friend Chris, have to try and track down Tiny in order to find out
the truth behind the mirror. Is it a valuable work, and could it be
something that was stolen many years ago in Italy. The only problem
is that the Italian mafia is also looking for Tiny and that might
make Alix's search all the more dangerous.
This
was a fun, entertaining and absorbing mystery. I liked the characters
and the fact that it had several story lines running through the
book. All in all, it was engaging, well told and an enjoyable read.
Thanks
to Netgalley for allowing me to read this book in exchange for an
honest view.
