An interesting adventure with the Da Vinci painting at the bottom of it. I like the protagonist's attempt to redeem the family honour. I enjoyed reading your review, thanks.

This book sounds like it will impose a mixed reactions on the reader since it involves betrayal, kidnapping, high-tech intrigue, and heroism. I enjoyed the review; it is very informative.

Mona Lisa's Secret by Phil Philips is a suspenseful historical-fiction thriller from Renaissance times whereby a painting is stolen and a family takes notice. It has a 4 out of 4 rating.

Would make for a great movie.

The title alone awakened my interest. I've always known about Mona Lisa, the painting by Leonardo da Vinci.

Anybody who appreciates art must be dying to read Mona Lisa's Secret.

From the review we learn that the Mona Lisa we know is fake. Then what does the original look like?

This is not the first time Phil Philips is telling us of secrets hidden from the world for centuries. Give him a good handshake.

A historical fiction mixed with thriller and mystery sounds like an exciting ride! I'm also curious as to why the painting was stolen in the first place and what secrets lies underneath the surface. "Betrayal, kidnapping, high-tech intrigue, and heroism..." and "Action-packed and filled with danger" - wow! It's too bad about the amount of foul language, which is kind of a turnoff for me, and I am a Catholic. So, we'll have to see. I'm glad that you were able to enjoy the read regardless!

Nice review! Your review has me convinced that I NEED to read this. The stories out there about historical mysteries can be hit or miss, but this one sounds like a hit!

This book sounds good! Unfortunately, because of the caveats I have a touch more hesitancy. Bummer. Something to ponder, anyway. Thanks for the warning and the review as a whole!

This is a great read. The books goes to great lengths to show what people are willing to do to hide secrets including but not limited to kidnapping.

This sounds like a fun and exciting novel. I loved The Da Vinci Code and National Treasure, and this sounds right up my alley. I became interested in this book when I first saw the cover and the title, and after reading your review, I just have to read it. Thanks so much!
