Book Review:
''The Amber Room'' by Steve Berry is a compelling, adventure-filled novel that combines the pace and style of Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code with the densely plotted espionage of Daniel Silva's Gabriel Allon novels. Atlanta judge Rachel Cutler loves her job and her kids, but her life takes a dark turn when her father dies under strange circumstances, leaving behind clues to a secret about one of the greatest treasures ever made by man.

Forged of exquisite gemstone, the Amber Room inexplicably disappeared sometime during World War II. Determined to solve its mysteries, Rachel takes off for Germany with her ex-husband, Paul, close behind. Before long, they're in over their heads. Locked into a treacherous game with professional killers, Rachel and Paul find themselves on a collision course with the forces of greed, power, and history itself.

Berry is a master of the historical thriller, and The Amber Room is pure intrigue and pure fun. Fast-moving, globe-hopping, and filled with fascinating historical details, this is a must-read for fans of Dan Brown, Clive Cussler, and historical adventure thrillers. Highly recommended!
