I truly enjoyed Karen Bree's "The Esposito Caper". I found myself lost a couple of times, but that might have been a switch in tactics that I didn't pick up. I wanted to go back and read it again, but like all authors, I am sure Karen would rather have the review posted and it deserved a five anyway. I will pick it up to read again, no doubt.The caper begins with a grandfather who forged painted for someone else who got all the credit. His wish is that his grandson, Gino, prove that he is the Master Painter, not the person who got all the credit. Each painting carried his mark hidden in the painting. From then on, it is more like caper chaos. Gino just happens to run into people with "certain" skills, all of which get him closer and closer to his goal.I enjoyed reading Ms. Bree's book because, for once, it was an ensemble that came together to try to help Gino achieve his goal for his grandfather. And, they were so blase' about it! I would have been horrified to even try some of the things these people did. I will not tell you if they succeeded, but I will say some had fun and some didn't. That's my idea of a good story and good writing. If you pick a group, you'll find somebody griping every time. You'll be surprised who that was in "The Esposito Caper".
