The Venetian Betrayal by Steve Berry (2008, Paperback, Reprint)

I picked up The Venetian Betrayal in the airport's bookstore because I thought the storyline was interesting. Boy, was I wrong!! The story is phenomenal, not just interesting!!! I absolutely could not put the book down and finished the entire thing in 1.5 days.

Berry's writing style is moving, painting visual pictures for the reader and making the reader feel as if he or she is part of the action. He moves the plot along at a very nice pace, picking up speed when needed and providing background where required, the entire time enticing the reader to stay with him and go to the end.

I thought the Venetian Betrayal was an absolutely incredible read. I bought it 8 August, 2009, finished it the morning of 10 August, 2009 and in the last two weeks, I have read two other Steve Berry novels.

Berry is truly an incredible and addicting author.
