Mystery, Intrigue & Romance, Sep 8 2010
By A. E. Hebbert "Reviewer" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Black Madonna (Paperback)
Storm Syrrell returns from Gold of Kings for another thrilling mystery, penned by the "Gentleman Adventurer," Davis Bunn. She's still an antiquarian, this time desperate for cash. She should refuse to work with the mystery client who asks her to track down a non-existent antique with miraculous healing powers. But her desperation pushes her to take on this deep-pocketed client. There's grave danger, adventure, and international travel, crafted by Bunn with authenticity and action. And romance. If she can live long enough.Bunn serves as Novelist in Residence for Regent's College at Oxford University. He also teaches creative writing programming for Oxford. He speaks at writers conferences around the world. Fluent in three languages, Dr. Bunn has done extensive travel in Europe, Africa, Asia and the Middle East. He lives with his wife, both in England and Florida's West Coast.

Fast paced, Nov 21 2010
By Janna R. Ryan - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Black Madonna (Paperback)
Davis Bunn brings back the cast of Storm, Emma and Harry in "The Black Madonna" and sends them all over the world in chase of various ancient religious icons. It is full of international intrigue, mystery and suspense - who are the good guys, who are the bad guys? I was guessing through a lot of the book, Russia, Poland, England, America, who is behind the sudden outrageously high priced items at auction. Will it tear Europe apart when its discovered that the Black Madonna in Poland has been replaced with a fake? Who bombed Harry? Who wants Storm dead? This book will keep you on your toes to the end!

This review is from: The Black Madonna (Paperback)
I love this whole series. Lots of suspense. This writer inserts good historical facts and weaves his story expertly. I enjoy all of Mr. Bunn's books. And I certainly hope there is a book 3 of this series.
