Abstract Aliases (Bodies of Art Mystery, #3)

by Ritter Ames

[MurderByDeath]

If you're willing to suspend disbelief and are looking for an action packed pseudo-spy caper, this series is worth checking out.   Abstract Aliases has Jack and Laurel chasing after art forgeries, crime syndicates, ex-employees gone rogue and trying to figure out who is killing forgers throughout Europe, and why.  It's a jet-setting kind of story, with trains, planes and automobiles and character far more likeable than they were in the first two books (more cooperation, less game-playing).   I was feeling lukewarm about the series as a whole and this one languished on my TBR for some time before I grabbed it, but the pure escapist fun, and the plot and character progression have left me eager to read the next book.
