Richardson "In Marked for Revenge, Alderson once again dishes the inside scope on the museum world, but this time combines it with a clever art heist plot that will keep you turning pages right to the end. This Zelda Richardson mystery series just keeps getting better." - author Anne Janzer "Exciting reading!! Marked for Revenge: An Art Heist Thriller is a fast pacing and page turning book. This novel is easy to read and extremely well done. The plot is well developed and characters are well designed. The story is about stolen artwork, art forgeries, crimes and drug traffickers. But it is also on postmodern painting, museums and Amsterdam. Jennifer S. Alderson (the Author) carried out outstanding research on painting, postmodern art, museums and did a great job describing places in Amsterdam and in Turkey where a part of the story takes place. The result is instructive and entertaining... Through well organised chapters, we follow Zelda Richardson who just started working as an art assistant at a local museum and a Dutch art detective Vincent de Graaf. Both are embarked in an adventure in pursuit of an artwork thieves gang throughout Europe. This unusual and exciting activity is actually underpinned by an "ingenious" story of revenge of a father. I highly recommend this book particularly to those who like fast pacing thrillers." - Achour, NetGalley review "This is the perfect book for those who love history, mysteries toss in some good old fashion suspense and Marked For Revenge is the perfect read. The author bring history, art to life bringing readers into her world and keeps them there wanting more after the stories ends." - Book Him Danno, NetGalley review Awarded a Chill with a Book Readers' Award in June 2019 - Chosen as Chill with a Book's June Cover of the Month - A Women Writers, Women's Books magazine Recommended Reads in June 2019 - One of Amy's Bookshelf Reviews Top 20 Reads of 2019 - Placed at #30 in ReadFreely's Top 50 Indie Reads of 2019.
