5.0 out of 5 stars Great action Thriller, February 21, 2009

The book deals with a sophisticated group of thieves named the Chess Group: because each one of its components is called by a pierce of the chess board. They receive a very peculiar assignment: to steal a second tear painting from a German Baron. As she is changing the original piece for the copy the group had painfully reproduced, Ana, our heroine discover another painting included with the first one. This discovery leads the group to investigate the finding and they realize that the new painting has clues to a room made of Amber by a Russian czar. It was stolen during the Second World War, so the potential that it may also lead them to all the lost German loot from the war is discussed.

What follows is an extraordinary action filled story filled with surprises at every turn which will keep you hooked until the last page.

4.0 out of 5 stars puro escapismo, no tan original, pero entretiene bastante de todos modos, January 21, 2009

Una señora, parte de un grupo internacional de ladrones de arte, roba una pintura para un cliente. Pero debajo de la pintura, ¡encuentra otra pintura misteriosa! Esta le lleva a ella y a unos compañeros a una búsqueda para el legendario «salón de ámbar», un premio valeroso en la historia de Rusia. De allí en adelante hay acción, tecnología, amor, traición, pasión, y todos los otros ingredientes que te gustarían en un cuento de este tipo.

No es un libro que voy a comprar y leer vez tras vez, pero en cuanto lo leía, no me fue fácil dejarlo para otras actividades.

Escuché el audiolibro, narrado por Adriana Sananes. Fue bien narrado.

[Este libro no tiene nada de ofensivo menos la glorificación del robo: ni la violencia ni la pasión son explícitas, ni hay palabrotas.]
