The Mystery of the Third Lucretia Audiobook

" This was a cute middle grade story. It was a nice mystery with well-rounded action. The two main characters were strong female leads. I found it pretty predictable but I think the tween girls who want something other than a book with love in it will really enjoy it. The dialouge was well suited to teenagers. It was also kind of educational with little facts about the world thrown in. "

" It's a fun middle-grades mystery. Parents should be aware that Lucretia is raped and commits suicide--that's the story behind Rembrandt's paintings. My niece loved the book because the refers to the Minneapolis Institutes of Art which we visited. "

" This book gets three stars for the unusual subject (a favourite around here), but two stars for the writing. "

" books like this make me wanna commit an art crime. but I'd be a nice guy about it. now I wanna watch the Thomas crown affair and work on my forgery skills. "

" This was okay. I didn't love it but wasn't completely annoyed by it. It's presented as a realistic fiction mystery but felt highly unrealistic. The characters were two-dimensional and pretty uninteresting overall. I don't think teens will like it very well; it's more appropriate as a tween read. "

" This is a really great mystery about two inquisitive, smart girls that travel the world and solve a mystery along the way. Gotta love a mystery that includes traveling to places like London and Amsterdam. The first book in Kari + Lucas Mystery Series. Great for fans of Nancy Drew! "

" The writing frequently took me out of the story. Runholt tends to explain what is about to happen, then it actually happens. I'd much prefer for the action to just happen without any preview or warning. "

" I enjoyed the "art caper" aspect of this book (I'm always attracted to books about painting and art), and the narration style is fun. It's a little "girlie" in that there is a lot of focus on clothes and boys in this series, but I liked the chemistry between the two main characters. "

" Very entertaining art history mystery, when two friends become suspicious of an artist they observe in 2 different museums who's copying paintings of Rembrandt. Lots of suspense, intrigue, done in a mostly realistic way. "

" I love love love this book! I read it for the first time when i was a little kid and i totally fell in love with it. There is so much mystery, adventure and travel! It is definitely one of my favorites! "

" Very exciting Middle-Grade/YA sleuth story. "

" London + Art Theft + 2 teenage "BFFs" + Hilarious circumstances = Good read! "

" I listened to this book while I was working on a cross stitch project. It was fun to listen to, even though I thought the girls in the story were being dangerously stupid in their choices. A very interesting plot and exciting - fun! "

" This is a really great mystery about two inquisitive, smart girls that travel the world and solve a mystery along the way. Gotta love a mystery that includes travel to places like London and Amsterdam. First in a series. Great for middle schoolers! "

" Fun Mystery to read on the beach, now I am able to go see the real Lucretia because my sister lives in Minneapolis, Minnesota. "

" Girl-power mystery for fans of Chasing Vermeer and The Theft & the Miracle. "

" Besides being an interesting mystery, this book will give readers a taste of London, Amsterdam, and great art. "

" Read sometime back in 2010. If you like Nancy Drew or any other type of mystery that involves young spunky girls, world travel, art museums, and plain old fun then I recommend this book! "

" (youth review) This was weird. I didn't really like it. It was slow and hard to read. ~Brad, 3rd grade, MIS "

" Very exciting Middle-Grade/YA sleuth story. "

" I read this book with Eric. Even though it's a kids book, it is an action-filled story with lots of good history and world travel thrown in for flavor. "

" At first I thought this book was kinda boring and slow....but it really picked up! The ending was realy good, and I am excited for the next book. I love murder mysteries and it was a pretty good one :) "

" I was so amused by this book! It was funny and witty, though a little confusing sometimes, but very good! I was trying to solve the mystery from the beginning, and, though I figured it out long before the end, still found it very good. "
