In "The Girl Who Knew Da Vinci" by Belle Ami, readers are taken on an exciting journey filled with art, mystery, and suspense. Angela Renatus, an art historian working as an intern at the Getty Museum in Los Angeles, California, is tormented by vivid dreams of Leonardo da Vinci and an enigmatic painting featuring Giuliano de’ Medici and his mistress, Fioretta Gorini—a painting that, to the world's knowledge, has never existed. Driven by her haunting visions, Angela embarks on a quest to uncover the truth behind this elusive masterpiece. Her path crosses with that of art detective Alex Caine, who is also on the trail of the same painting. Alex's client, a wealthy German financier named Max Jaeger, seeks to vindicate his late uncle, Gerhard Jaeger, an art historian who vanished in Florence during World War II. Gerhard's letters to his mother describe a groundbreaking discovery: a supposedly misattributed wedding portrait by Leonardo da Vinci. As Angela and Alex delve deeper into their investigation, they find themselves ensnared in a dangerous game with Alberto Scordato, a ruthless art magnate with a hidden agenda. Scordato's pursuit of the painting puts Angela and Alex's lives in peril, unveiling secrets that could change their fates forever.

The author's clear and intriguing depiction of past and present events kept me in suspense from start to finish. The book is not only engaging but also informative, highlighting the depth of the author's comprehensive research for this work. The character development is also commendable. Angela's determination and curiosity make her a compelling protagonist, while Alex's expertise and dedication add depth to his character. The author excels at revealing their strengths, vulnerabilities, and growth as they navigate the intricate plot.

There are some detailed, explicit scenes and a few triggering dialogues; reader discretion is advised. The book is impeccably edited and flawlessly executed. There is nothing I dislike about this book, so I rate it 5 out of 5. I highly recommend "The Girl Who Knew Da Vinci" to anyone who enjoys a thrilling blend of art, history, and mystery, as well as to fans of suspenseful and well-crafted storytelling.
