IR VERDICT:
Author Belle Ami’s second book in the Out of Time series, THE GIRL WHO LOVED CARAVAGGIO, is a great read for art history lovers as it moves through time; meshing the Renaissance life and painting style of Caravaggio with the present-day story of Alex and Angela–a happily-married couple who investigate stolen art. Readers will want to learn more about the life and career of artist Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio (1571-1610) as they travel on his romantic and often violent path. Along with scenes of reincarnation, Angela’s psychic abilities fuel the storyline as past, present and future come together in this well-crafted mystery.
