At the Getty Museum, Angela Renatus, a staff member, often dreams and has images of Leonardo Da Vinci and his companions. Because of her tendency to forget what she has dreamt about, Angela keeps track of all of her dreams. Arts theft is the subject of Alexander Caine's investigation. Max Jaeger recruited him to find information on a purportedly real image allegedly painted by Leonardo Da Vinci. Dr. Alberto Scordato, the director of the Getty Museum, is looking for Leonardo Da Vinci's Renaissance paintings. He's shown himself to be unstoppable in his pursuit of the painting and has other goals in mind. What connection can be seen between all of this and Angela's peculiar dreams? Authenticity of the artwork. Does this painting really exist or is it merely a figment of people's imagination? Read Belle Ami's The Girl Who Knew Da Vinci to find out more.

It was clear from the very beginning of the book that reading it would be exciting. I adore how the author, Belle Ami, didn't waste any time in building tension. The first suspense I noticed was Angela's transfixed gaze on a Giuliano Medici painting at the Getty museum. The following was the disappearance of Angela's dream journal, in which she records all of her dreams involving Leonardo. I was completely captivated at that moment. Another intriguing aspect of this book was how places and eras changed.

Belle describes Angela's hardships as a young adult and her typical modern life. A good example is trying to get a job or even an internship. The mystery then begins when Leonardo Da Vinci and his companions gradually enter the narrative. Belle has a fantastic and distinctive writing style. No reader is left in a position of misunderstanding because she made everything obvious, even though there was a weaving in the times.

Angela Renatus and Alexander Caine's relationship is interspersed with Belle's efforts to interpret and make sense of the peculiar scenario. It really soothingly slows down the activity. I adore how the two characters hit it off right away. They didn't appear forced at all in their interactions or activities. Having said that, every character who appeared in this book had a part to play, and it was fun to read about how each one helped the story along.

I didn't find anything about the entire book's plot disagreeable. It was a pleasure to read from beginning to end. Action was taken immediately, and each word aided in developing this book.

Additionally, I found no typographical or grammatical errors in this book; it was exceptionally edited. Therefore, I rate The Girl Who Knew Da Vinci 5 out of 5 stars.

Because this book specializes in historical fiction, romance, and mystery, I recommend it to both young and old fans of these genres.

Every time I passed by this book I wondered how she knew Da Vinci, given that he died long ago. I would be interested to know how the investigation turns out, but I am not a fan of romance. Maybe I could ignore that.

The book's story line was quite interesting, but I found the level of erotic scenes too much for my liking. It was great going through your review.

This book definitely is a delightful read. The author truly did a good job with weaving the story through three time lines as well as combining romance with action, mystery and suspense.

I'm quite curious how the author weaves the story about the mysterious painting. Would the painting be real or just purely Angela's imagination which creates dreams? I'd like to find out! Thanks for your wonderful review!
