The Amber Room

A Novel of Suspense

By: Steve Berry

Narrated by: Scott Brick

“A winner . . . combines the pace and style of Brown’s Da Vinci Code and the densely plotted espionage of Daniel Silva’s Gabriel Allon novels.”—The Florida Times-Union

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 the exquisite gem, 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.

Critic reviews

“Sexy, illuminating, and confident. The Amber Room is my kind of thriller—a globe-trotting treasure hunt packed with exotic locales, sumptuous art, and ruthless villains. Steve Berry writes with the self-assured style of a veteran.”—Dan Brown, author of The Da Vinci Code

“Magnificently engrossing, with wonderful characters and a plot that speeds, twists, and turns. Pure intrigue, pure fun.”—Clive Cussler

“The Amber Room is a riveting cat-and-mouse game set within the world of international art thieves, assassins, and age-old rivalries. From the opening shocker set in a Nazi concentration camp to the chilling battle within a mountain-top castle, Steve Berry carries the reader on a harrowing journey into a past best left undiscovered. Not to be missed!”—James Rollins, author of Amazonia and Ice Hunt

“Steve Berry has written a tremendous first novel. He weaves vivid details into a lightning quick read.”—Stephen Frey, author of Silent Partner

“Vivid, fast-moving, beautifully imagined, convincing!”—David Poyer, author of Black Storm and Fire on the Waters

What a nice surprise!

I periodically like to try books from authors that I've not heard of. This sounded interesting, and I just love Scott Brick! I REALLY enjoyed this book! I played it straight through- have done nothing for the past day and a half! The book is well-researched, exciting, and just plain good. I highly recommend it!

Great Story

I have read most of the Cotton Malone books. This is my first Audible Steve Barry book, and after reading the summary and the reviews, I didn’t know what to expect. I liked the performance and the story, but it took me a while to get interested in the characters and for them to be believable. Overall, I began to really enjoy the story once I understood the character’s motives.

Scott Brick is as good as always

Slow book to start, and not one to download if you're not into a detailed history of art, but the plot thickened nicely and Scott Brick is as talented as always in his narration.

Great Adventure Story!

this story even though fictitious it may be still Sparks the idea of treasure hunting.

Amber Room disappointment

The story was amazing. The graphic descriptions of human interactions were disgusting. A shame that an author with so much knowledge cannot use better descriptive terms than the constant use of the F word. Distracted from the real story/mystery. Thrilled later books written by Me Berry are not so graphic and disgusting.
