About this ebook

Laurel Beacham may have been born with a silver spoon in her mouth, but she has long since lost it digging herself out of trouble. Her father gambled and womanized his way through the family fortune before skiing off an Alp, leaving her with more tarnish than trust fund.

Quick wits and connections have gained her a reputation as one of the world's premier art recovery experts. The police may catch the thief, but she reclaims the missing masterpieces.

The latest assignment, however, may be her undoing. Using every ounce of luck and larceny she possesses, Laurel must locate a priceless art icon and rescue a co-worker (and ex-lover) from a master criminal, all the while matching wits with a charming new nemesis.

Unfortunately, he seems to know where the bodies are buried—and she prefers hers isn't next.

    A very fun, fast, non-stop adventure from woe to go. Laurel is supremely capable and holds her own in every situation. Jack is the cliche of international man of mystery, and I like him anyway. Setting a series in the midst of the art-recovery world is equivalent to giving my cat catnip as far as my tastes are concerned. My two biggest disappointments with this book were Laurel's constant cycle of "I can't trust him. I can't trust anybody." Jack would track her down, she'd run away. He'd find her, she'd run away. Again, and again, and again. It got old long before the book ended. My second complaint concerns the number of typos; Henery Press has spoiled me to this point by putting out books that were almost error free, but I guess the streak had to end at some point. A lot of missing words, a few extra words, at least one continuity error. Mostly the book was a lot of fun and I'm definitely getting the next book; hopefully Laurel willl pull her head out and stop running away.

    An artful mystery

    I enjoyed this book, it had plenty of movement and the main character was a strong lead.

    Laurel is an art recovery expert who is on assignment in London. Things go south from the get-go. Someone is feeding her false information - is it Back the handsome, eyes-in-the-back-of-his-head, man who seems to turn up everywhere Laurel goes? Or is there a mile in the company she works for. Laurel is used to being in her own but never with this many twists and turns.

    Really the biggest thing that kept me from giving this a 5 star is because there were too many unanswered questions. I know it's a series but I (as mentioned in the book) need more closure.

    Read if you like a fast-paced, easy read. Don't read if you want all the storylines tied up.

    Counterfeit Conspiracies by Ritter Ames is the first book in A Bodies of Art Mystery series. Laurel Beacham is an art recovery expert (she reclaims masterpieces for their owners). Laurel grew up in a life of privilege but her father managed to spend (aka gamble) away the family fortune (and then died while skiing). Laurel goes to meet up with Simon Babbage (ex-lover) for her new assignment and discovers he is missing. Laurel must rescue Simon and a King Arthur’s sword and scabbard from a ruthless criminal. While tracking down Simon, Laurel notices someone following her. Who is he and why is he following Laurel? Friend or foe? Read Counterfeit Conspiracies to find out if Laurel can find Simon and the priceless icon.I found Counterfeit Conspiracies to be very forced (contrived, exaggerated). I thought this was a mystery, but more attention was paid to Laurel’s Prada purse (which was mentioned constantly) than the mystery (which was child’s play to solve). The novel was mostly about running, being chased, and gun fire (and let us not forget the Prada purse). The novel was fast paced (for the most part), but everything just felt artificial (forced). For a first book many things are not explained (and I have to admit that after a while I really did not care). I give Counterfeit Conspiracies 3 out of 5 stars (it was okay). This book was just not for me. I received a complimentary copy of Counterfeit Conspiracies from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
