Though this is a thriller, it's also historical fiction, truthful about Switzerland's role in helping the Nazis steal Jewish gold, art and valuables. The Swiss keep those stolen treasures locked in vaults and make no attempts at restitution.

As a thriller, it was ok but I really enjoy this one for this history. The Swiss keep the pain of the Holocaust alive with their locked vaults and numbered accounts.

Really enjoyed reading this book, especially with the suspense of the whole story. I think this book helps to further develop the characters from the previous book.

As for the storyline, I found it interesting and like how it linked with the Nazis during the second world war. I think it does make you think about the art that was taken and how it has affected millions.

A good read. Love to read the next one.

I would say 3.5. Twisty mystery involving Switzerland’s cover up of art stolen during WW2. First part of the book was pretty bland, but I was sucked in by the end.
