It was like her trilogies all in one book. It starts with the sinking of the Lusitania in 1915. A petty thief steals a statue from a rich man just as the torpedo hits. He saves a young woman and her three-year-old child and manages to survive himself. A changed man, he lives is life in Ireland. Almost 100 years later, his descendants Malachi, Gideon, and Rebecca need to recover the treasured statue which was stolen from them by an unscrupulous antiques dealer. They also want to find the other two statues that were part of the set. Malachi's search leads him to Tia Marsh - a descendant of the original owner who died on the Lusitania. Tia is a Ph.D. who is also a hypochondriac and germaphobe because that's the way her mother raised her. Gideon goes after Cleo Toliver who is a descendant of someone who likely had the second statue back in 1915. She's currently stripping in a club in Prague after being dumped and robbed by her boyfriend and looking to earn enough money to get back to New York. Jack Burdett has the third statue inherited from his great-grandfather - the little boy the thief saved. He's a security expert and has a world-wide security company. When Anita Gaye - the unscrupulous antiques dealer - calls him to try to track down Cleo, he travels to Ireland, meets Rebecca, and gets involved in the hunt. The was an excellent heist story as the six heroes need to trick Anita Gaye out of the statue she stole from Malachi and also prove that she murdered Cleo's friend in her quest to gain control of all three of the Fates. It was also an excellent romance novel since all the characters fall in love. Nora Roberts' talent for writing strong characters, strong stories of friendship, and strong romances is very visible here. Bernadette Quigley did an excellent job with the narration and distinguishing all of the main characters vocally. This is a fast moving novel with a bevvy of gorgeous young people as the heroes. These three women and three men are all attractive and are described in detail. Alongside the action the blossoming relationships between these six are followed. Another beautiful woman is the bad guy, a rich widow who is as heartless as any bad guy. The action is about three small silver statues, the three fates and moves between Ireland, the Czech Republic, Greece and the US. ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu
