Publisher Description

Four mysterious words prompt antiques dealer Precious Rafferty to embark on a quest across Europe to uncover their meaning. Preshy, at age thirty-eight, loves her American-in-Paris life, but thinks that she'll never be swept off her feet—until she meets Bennett James. As their whirlwind courtship progresses, though, she realizes that there is much about his business life in Shanghai she doesn't know. Then she receives an urgent message from Lily Song, a cousin she's never met. Lily lives in Shanghai and knows the antiques underworld there—and she has a secret important enough to draw her to Venice to meet Preshy for the first time, face-to-face. In Venice, Preshy will have to weave through a maze of betrayers to discover who she can trust with her heart—and with her life.

"I was a little taken back by the bright pink cover and girly description, but overall I loved the book. I was surprised when people started getting murdered every five seconds. Oh the wonderful deceitful plans of mankind. It was the perfect airport read."

— Laurel (5 out of 5 stars)

    " I was a little disappointed in this Adler book. I didn't care for any of the main characters. Precious (Preshy) is completely naive and wishy washy (to match her name). Lily is dishonest and distant. Both male characters are unlikeable. I continued with the story to see it through. So, I gave it two stars because at least it held my attention for part of the time. "

    " This book was a pretty quick read. It was pretty predictable and the characters came across as a bit too naive even with the hard earned worldly life lessons they were described to have. I found it hard to relate to the characters. It was also frustrating when the main character switched half way through the book. A lot of movement through the book will keep you on your toes but ultimately a let down of anticipation. "

    " I enjoyed this book, but frequently it felt a littel forced to me, as if there was a fact that the author thought we needed to know, so she tossed it in. A good summer, poolside read, but probably not something I'll come back kto in the future. "

    " I usually like mystery books, but on this one the "heroine" is so stupid I kept cheering for the bad guy to kill her. It also has a dumb ending and a few loose ends. "

    " This book was alright. I really did not expect much, so I was not really disappointed that the story was very scattered and the characters were thinly written. I bought the book to read on vacation, and it served its purpose. It was light and ended well. A simple read. "

    " This was a pleasant read but not as descriptive with the settings as with her other books. On to Provence, with the next one. I think I have 3 more to read after that, St. Tropez, Capri and one more place. "

    " a pretty suspenseful novel, but too many coincidences to my liking. the fact that Lily, Preshy, Mary Lou are all connected with the 'villain' Bennett Yuan/ Bennett James and not aware of it, makes the book too unrealistic for my taste. "
