The Amber Room | Steve Berry
13 posts | 27 read | 12 to read
The Amber Room is one of the greatest treasures ever made by man: an entire room forged of exquisite amber, from its four massive walls to its finely crafted furniture. But it is also the subject of one of historys most intriguing mysteries. Originally commissioned in 1701 by Frederick I of Prussia, the Room was later perfected Tsarskoe Selo, the Russian imperial city. In 1941, German troops invaded the Soviet Union, looting everything in their wake and seizing the Amber Room. When the Allies began the bombing of Germany in August 1944, the Room was hidden. And despite the best efforts of treasure hunters and art collectors from around the world, it has never been seen again. Now, two powerful men have set their best operatives loose in pursuit, and the hunt has begun once more. . . . Life is good for Atlanta judge Rachel Cutler. She loves her job, loves her kids, and remains civil to her ex-husband, Paul. But everything changes when her father, a man who survived the horrors of World War II, dies under strange circumstancesand leaves behind clues to a secret he kept his entire life . . . a secret about something called the Amber Room. Desperate to know the truth about her fathers suspicious dealings, Rachel takes off for Germany, with Paul close behind. Shortly after arriving, they find themselves involved with a cast of shadowy characters who all claim to share their quest. But as they learn more about the history of the treasure they seek, Rachel and Paul realize theyre in way over their heads. Locked in a treacherous game with ruthless professional killers and embroiled in a treasure hunt of epic proportions, Rachel and Paul suddenly find themselves on a collision course with the forces of power, evil, and history itself. A brilliant adventure and a scintillating tale of intrigue, deception, art, and murder, The Amber Room is a classic tale of suspenseand the debut of a strong new voice in the world of the international thriller. From the Hardcover edition.

As intriguing as the premise of this story was, I felt a bit let down by the characters and how the story was resolved. 😶 This was the author's first novel, and it shows. Thankfully, I've read a later novel of his that will keep me reading his books.

If you want to get into Steve Berry's novels, don't start with this one. If you're already a fan, consider picking this one up for light reading.

⭐: 3.5

1. Depends on the genre the person likes to read...but I love to recommend the tagged book.
2. No, I am an early riser and my hubby is not. So I am usually out the door before he gets up.
3. Right now it is 33 degrees. High of 66
4. Grits and ketchup....don‘t judge

Lots and characters searching for lost treasure and it all comes together in the end. Well written; I flew through the pages but definitely more exposition and explaining more backstory in some parts than is trendy today. I found the action well balanced with the search and enjoyed it.
