How does this book compare to Belle Ami's Other Work?
I enjoyed The Girl Who Knew da Vinci much more than Belle Ami's previous work that I read, Escape. I thought The Girl Who Knew da Vinci had more engaging characters and the plot was more exciting; however, I definitely didn't think the story was completely unique!
Thoughts?

Me neither, but I must say that reading everyone's comments on the BOTM is more entertaining than a Facebook game. You are all so insightful.Juliet Muia wrote: ↑06 Jun 2018, 06:39 I have not read any of her other books. Thus, I cannot comment on the comparison.

Hehe jk. I too enjoy the various opinions that I read. I like when the conversations get a little more intellectual past the "is it a good or bad book" point.
I haven't read anything else by Belle Ami so I am interested to see what others on this thread will say. It will be good to know if it is worth pursuing any more of her work at this point, especially when it comes to the opinions of those who will have a similar perspective on this book to mine.

That's good to know. I might consider reading Escape because books with a sense of tension are very interesting to me.bookowlie wrote: ↑06 Jun 2018, 20:02 Both books have a thriller element, but the tension and threat seems higher through the story in Escape. I found the plot more interesting in The Girl Who Knew da Vinci, but that's because I liked the art history tie-in. Both stories have international settings and a mix of themes.

If the subtitle is "An Erotic Suspense novel" I don't think I'd particularly enjoy it. There has been a lot of conversation about the extensive sexual interaction between Angela and Alex and a lot of readers don't seem to think those scenes were incredibly well written. Do you think the erotic scenes in the One and More were well written? Would you recommend the book?Bookmermaid wrote: ↑11 Jun 2018, 04:22 I have read Ami's The One and More: An Erotic Suspense novel. I found it a much smoother and easier read that this current text. As suggested by the title scenes of erotic sex unfolded from the beginning and the accompanying profane language was replete in such scenes. The Girl Who met Da Vinci has more of a convoluted style of writing with erotic scenes that are less graphic than The One and More.
