The Missing Masterpiece
by Jeanne M. Dams

Dorothy and Alan have planned a trip to Normandy to help their friend launch her first art gallery showing with a trip to Paris and Mont-Saint-Michel afterwards.  However, Dorothy finds herself traveling alone as Alan is forced to stay behind nursing a broken ankle.  Dorothy is forced to travel ahead and soon finds herself involved in one mystery after another.  All seem to revolve around a possible missing piece of music penned by Abelard.   By the time Alan arrives, Dorothy is fully involved in a situation that will need many heads to unravel.

This is the first time I’ve read anything by Jeanne M. Dams.  I found the story engaging and the main protagonist easily relatable.   I enjoy a good mystery that involves lost manuscripts and ancient, historical sights.  Dams involves all of these elements and wraps them up with interesting players within a beautiful backdrop we would all love to visit.   The threads of the story come together nicely.  Those who like their mysteries solved without heart stressing palpitations will enjoy this.   

I wish to thank the publisher and NetGalley for generously providing an Advanced Reader’s Copy  for my honest review
