Review of The Girl Who Knew Da Vinci
[Following is a volunteer review of "The Girl Who Knew Da Vinci" by Belle Ami.]
In The Girl Who Knew Da Vinci by Belle Ami, the blend of romance and mystery seems to revive interest in the life and works of Da Vinci. Angela is on a quest to locate the painting's missing component because she thinks it contains the key to a revelation that might alter the course of history. The fact that although the narrative takes place in the present, it blends historical and artistic themes to create a spectacular experience is one of the most well-planned parts of the story. Angela travels from Paris to Florence, where she meets attractive Italian investigator Andrea who assists her in solving the painting's enigma. As Angela nears completing the puzzle, she starts to suspect that the artwork may be connected to a global conspiracy involving some of the most influential individuals. Angela and Andrea need to work together to get the truth before it's too late since danger lurks around every corner. Here, the romance part of the book starts. While personally, I'm not a big fan of romance books, this book reminds me of the Victorian erotica genre I love more. Angela's and Adrea's connection is described as more sexual than sensual.
Fast-moving and suspenseful, "The Girl Who Knew Da Vinci" is a thriller that masterfully mixes art, history, and suspense. The novel's narrative is cleverly designed and full of surprises that keep the reader interested and in suspense all the way to the very end. Moreover, in order to tell a credible and captivating narrative, Belle Ami does a fantastic job of fusing fictitious elements with genuine historical events and characters. The novel's evocative descriptions of the works of art and settings where the action takes place are one of its strong points. The reader has a rich and immersive reading experience because of the author's attention to detail, which takes them to the streets of Florence and the galleries of Paris.
Apart from the plot and writing style, the character developments in the romance, are well-processed, with characters like Andrea and Angela having deep, likable personalities. Their encounters offer a romantic element to the tale without taking away from the storyline because of their obvious connection. However, my obvious favorite character is Fioretta, the first woman Angela has visions of. She is a "love it or hate it" kind of character with an incredibly bold personality.
In general, "The Girl Who Knew Da Vinci" is a well-written and engaging book that will pique the interest of readers who appreciate mystery, art, and historical fiction. Anybody searching for a thrilling and distinctive adventure should definitely read it because of the intriguing narrative and characters that combine reality and fiction. However, violent thoughts about sexual bonds and desires between characters can trigger those looking for a romantic relationship. In my opinion, this kind of rigid paradox of morality and sentimentality is more appropriate for this thriller book. I would rate this book 3 out of 5.
