Resumen del Editor

“An exuberant and propulsive thriller laced with sex, art, and history. Lisa Barr has created an unforgettable story that forces readers to question where the line should be drawn between the pursuit of justice and the hunt for revenge.”—Alyson Richman, bestselling author of The Secret of Clouds

From the author of the award-winning Fugitive Colors and The Unbreakables, a gripping tale of a young, ambitious journalist embroiled in an international art scandal centered around a Nazi-looted masterpiece—forcing the ultimate showdown between passion and possession, lovers and liars, history and truth.

After talking her way into a job with Dan Mansfield, the leading investigative reporter in Chicago, rising young journalist Jules Roth is given an unusual—and very secret—assignment. Dan needs her to locate a painting stolen by the Nazis more than 75 years earlier: legendary Expressionist artist Ernst Engel’s most famous work, Woman on Fire. World-renowned shoe designer Ellis Baum wants this portrait of a beautiful, mysterious woman for deeply personal reasons, and has enlisted Dan’s help to find it. But Jules doesn’t have much time; the famous designer is dying.

Meanwhile, in Europe, provocative and powerful Margaux de Laurent also searches for the painting. Heir to her art collector family’s millions, Margaux is a cunning gallerist who gets everything she wants. The only thing standing in her way is Jules. Yet the passionate and determined Jules has unexpected resources of her own, including Adam Baum, Ellis’s grandson. A recovering addict and brilliant artist in his own right, Adam was once in Margaux’s clutches. He knows how ruthless she is, and he’ll do anything to help Jules locate the painting before Margaux gets to it first.

A thrilling tale of secrets, love, and sacrifice that illuminates the destructive cruelty of war and greed and the triumphant power of beauty and love, Woman on Fire tells the story of a remarkable woman and an exquisite work of art that burns bright, moving through hands, hearts, and history.

Narrator excellent

When stories contain jumps through time and location and contain multiple characters, it is often difficult for me to keep track on an audible book. This narrator, Carlotta Brendan, was amazing. Her reading made me feel like there were multiple people reading the story. I could follow the plot and easily tell the voice of each character. Amazing!

Great story, horrible narration!

I would have liked this more with a different narrator. The accents were hard to decipher, even to the point I didn’t understand what was being said. It really took away from the story. In the age of audiobooks, these authors should really be more thoughtful in who they choose to narrate. I can’t emphasize enough ….stop letting these narrators ruin your books!!

Magnificent! spoiler alert.

Even though there were some predictions early on, it was still magnificent! Loved all the colorful characters, the sensuality, beauty, history, right overcoming wrong ultimately.

Highly recommended!

Interesting story, Horrible narration!!

I couldn’t even get a third of the way through the book due to the robotic narration with the horrible accents and pacing. It totally ruined it for me.
A lesson to authors or Amazon: please choose the narrators more carefully because they really make or break your stories.

Lots of NAMES

I listened and listened and listened. This is not a new story. I wearied of the time spent listening to people's names. Also listening and listening to the inordinate descriptions of the camp conditions was very graphic and eventually, redundant.
It's an OK book. I couldn't retrieve my credit for it.
I wish I could.

Meh

It was just okay for me. I feel like if waffled on a bit in the middle. Took me months to finish.
