Publisher Description
“A winner . . . combines the pace and style of Brown’s Da Vinci Code and the densely plotted espionage of Daniel Silva’s Gabriel Allon novels.”—The Florida Times-Union Atlanta judge Rachel Cutler loves her job and her kids, but her life takes a dark turn when her father dies under strange circumstances, leaving behind clues to a secret about one of the greatest treasures ever made by man. Forged of the exquisite gem, the Amber Room inexplicably disappeared sometime during World War II. Determined to solve its mysteries, Rachel takes off for Germany with her ex-husband, Paul, close behind. Before long, they’re in over their heads. Locked into a treacherous game with professional killers, Rachel and Paul find themselves on a collision course with the forces of greed, power, and history itself. Praise for The Amber Room “Compelling . . . adventure-filled . . . a fast-moving, globe-hopping tale.”—San Francisco Chronicle “Magnificently engrossing . . . pure intrigue, pure fun.”—Clive Cussler “Thrilling . . . fast-paced, highly entertaining.”—Baton Rouge Advocate

"Although I have read some pretty mediocre reviews, this was a pretty decent debut novel in the thriller genre. Just the right blend of historical backdrop combined with suspense. Some parts could have been a bit cleaner, but the bottom line is that it kept me up late. "

The Amber Room Listener Reviews
-
" It was a decent book. I did not particularly like either of the heros. And the fact that they got divorced but still loved each other and then got back together really rubs me the wrong way. Divorce is not OK. Other than the heros being some lame lawy "

" I have read several of Steve Berry's books. This is apparently his first one. I really enjoyed it. "

" Tried to be like The DaVinci Code but failed. "
— Lisa, 4/5/2011 -
" I picked this book up because of its title. The writing is crap, full of trite Russian-observed shit, and prevented me from enjoying what should have been a fun tale of theft and Soviet-German intrigue. As a side note, why does the picture of the authors in this book make them look tortured? "

" I like how Berry takes historical facts and weaves them into an entertaining story. I learn a little but am entertained as well. "

" recommended by Candi Prizer. I loved this book as I have visited the Amber Room at the Catherine's Palace, St. Petersburg. The walls are truly amazing as sheets of amber make up a wall. I also learned that amber can be heated up and moulded into different shapes. "

" Great history/ thriller. Definately worth a read if you dig history, especially art. "
— Andrea, 3/7/2011 -
" Very similar to Cotton Malone books, but rougher with more expletives. Not a bad tale if you like historical mysteries. "
— Marita, 2/16/2011 -
" I loved it...I'm addicted to this writer thanks to my friend, Simon! "
