A
recent art history graduate, Ana Moreno is thrilled when one of her
former professors invites her to Rome to research a newly discovered
painting by Raphael. But how does making an appointment to see a
piece of art lead to murder? That's what Ana wonders when she
discovers the dead body of a curator in the famous Borghese
Gallery.
Between glittering balls, sunny Rome, the archives of the Vatican, and romantic Florence, Ana not only has to solve the mystery of Raphael's greatest love affair, but also a murder--or she may never make it out of Rome alive.

I would like more at the ending about the characters futures especially if this is a stand alone. I know I always want more but that's a compliment.
How distracted did I get??
The Fornarina Affair was a fun quick read. I won't have a long review because it's a little shorter in length. Ana is on the trip of a lifetime. She's determined and smart. The story kept me guessing through most of the book. There are mysterious handsome men that keep you wanting more. I give The Fornarina Affair........

remote mountain retreat. Although Miranda expects to face challenges
in cooking for de Bracy and his five friends, her real problems turn
out to be much more serious: three people are viciously murdered with
an ax during a freak snowstorm, and no one sees or hears a thing.
