(Author's note: This is the second edition of a book originally published by The Berkley Publishing Group. There are a few changes in the last chapters.) The mysterious death of a nun in a small church in Prague and the assassination of a senator in the central square of the city seem unrelated until three strangers come together: an American journalist escaping the anniversary of a painful loss that has defined her life for the past five years; a flawed Italian priest with an enigmatic history; and a Czech police detective engaged in his own professional and personal struggles. With a series of twists and turns through the cobbled streets of Prague, events from over twenty years ago, during the Velvet Revolution, merge with more recent events and force each of those involved to examine their pasts as well as their futures.

This is a well-crafted mystery that keeps one guessing until the end. My preference in reading is generally in the historical arena, but I became a Kelly Jones fan upon reading The Woman Who Heard Color, which dealt with the plight of the modern art movement ( Hitler called it "degenerate art") in Germany leading up to WW II. The Prague novel has much to satisfy my history preference--the descriptions of the almost magical city of Prague, the Velvet Revolution and its aftermath, and an interesting religious icon, the Infant of Prague. Throw in a couple of murders, a former Communist collaborator and an unusual trio of sleuths and you have a truly enjoyable reading experience.

I have enjoyed the Dana Pierson books. I read this first one a few years ago. Even though I knew what to expect, I enjoyed reading it a second time. The ending was a good one and left me thinking of reading the other two again.
I spent several years teaching in Prague so I enjoyed the many references to familiar places in the city; however,someone without that experience might not be as appreciative of the author's liberal use of Czech names. While the story moves along with enough intrigue to keep a reader interested and the character development was well done, I was a bit disappointed by the resolution of the mystery.

The book is intelligently written, historically interesting, and filled with well developed characters. The descriptions brought vivid images to mind and the plot kept my interest throughout. I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys history, good writing and mystery.

It was fairly interesting. I enjoyed t most for descriptions of places I'd see..
I actually went to an author signing for the second book in this series, Bloodline and Wine, and of course had to buy this one so I would be up to date before reading the second. This was an enjoyable taking place in Prague during present day times, but the roots of the story were wrapped up with the Velvet Revolution that occurred when Czechoslovakia's students, artists, musicians, and youth led the movement that ousted the Communists from their country. The mystery also concerns The Infant of Prague, a small statue of the Infant Jesus tended by the Carmelite nuns that has a reputation for religious miracles and healings. An American woman who is a journalist is visiting Prague to see her cousin. The two girls had been in Prague when they were in their 20s and had been involved in the Revolution. Dana had returned home, her cousin Caroline had remained in the country and had entered the convent, becoming one of the Carmelite nuns. When Dana arrives on this, her first visit back to Prague, now in her early 40s, the convent is closed due to the death of one of the elderly nuns. This begins the search for the truth about several deaths and the Infant icon. Dana forms a collaboration with and aging Italian priest and a Czech police detective. Dana is also dealing with personal loss, tragedy and anger in her life which overshadows the story. I liked the characters, and Czech history is something completely new to me, other than headlines from the past, so I learned a great deal also.
I loved the premise of this book. It takes place in Prague twenty years after the Velvet Revolution. This is a place that I would love to one day visit and the setting immediately drew me in. The characters were great also. Dal is a detective going through marriage struggles and find the murderer of a senator. He has his own struggles that he’s trying to deal with and balance out. Dana is on vacation, and stumbles into a mystery concerning the Infant of Prague. Her cousin wants her to help figure out what happened with a nun in the convent, and what really happened that night. Father Borelli is only trying to help a fellow priest and friend in the events that happened at the church. He also learns a few things about himself. I enjoyed the mystery. I was left guessing, and trying to figure out what was going to happen next. The way these three characters worked together was great. Each of them formed a type of bond with the other. I especially liked how Borelli and Dana came to be friends through this ordeal. The only thing I didn’t care for was the epilogue and ending. It seemed a little too easy, and clean cut. Other than that, I loved traveling the streets of Prague while Dal, Dana and Borelli figured out what was going on in this city, and how events were connected.

This book has many layers of mystery and intrigue. Chief Investigator Damek of the Czech National Police Force is investigating the murder of a prominent politician. Dana Pierson, an American reporter, is returning to Prague after a twenty-year absence to visit her cousin Caroline, who is now Sister Agnes. On the flight to Prague, she meets Father Borelli who has been called to Prague by his friend Father Ruffino. Sister Agnes does not show up for her set appointment with Dana as there has been a death among the order, an elderly nun. However Sister Agnes does leave a note indicating that the famous Infant of Prague has been stolen and a fake is in its place. Thus begins a dangerous cat and mouse chase that brings Dana, Damek and Borelli together. It quickly comes to Dana that perhaps the youth she and Caroline were involved with twenty years previously, the time of the Velvet Revolution, may be behind these strange occurrences. I had to read slowly and carefully as there were several plots involved. Also the unfamiliarity with Czech names and places required a bit more effort. However, it was worth the effort. The writing is quite descriptive and I could feel the emotions of the characters. I really cared about Damek, Dana, and Borelli. They had their flaws which made them that much more real. I got wrapped up in the personal stories of Damek and Dana. The political intrigue kept me wondering as to who could trust whom. I loved how the author brought Prague to life through her descriptions. I definitely will be reading more of her books.
