Painted Messiah PB

Excellent book about a painting stolen,for sale and murdered for.two story lines from AD 26 to present day. spies, governments and a variety of others too.The Knights Templer are even in this book WOW .I am a reader not a writer,and I read for enjoyment nothing more,if you overthink what your reading sometimes it becomes something other then the story,and THE STORY is always the Star in a novel.Great job Craig what a wonderful story. Namaste'

Great read, I didn't want to put it down. Enjoyed the story and the characters, but found the history to be absolutely fascinating.

I just finished this book and it nearly melted my brain! Sizzling action and the characters were vividly drawn. I felt like I knew the characters and was sad when the story came to an end. The changes in time and venue were exquisite and left me wanting more. They really added to the excitement and helped to build the suspense. I loved it, and I hope to read more of the same from Craig Smith. I'm about to order a few copies for birthday gifts.

Smith writes with intelligence, breathless intrigue and action. The Painted Messiah is an amazing read that has caused me to put everything else on my plate to one side until I "rode this pony" to the finish line. The character development is crystal and I found myself caring deeply for the protagonists. The research Smith has done is historically fascinating and the book was deeply satisfying. Thank goodness that Craig Smith is now in the American market !! Move over Morell, Ludlum, Cornwall and Diehl, Smith is coming to town !!

The Painted Messiah The Painted Messiah held my attention completely. This book is spellbinding and will surely lead to another in a series. The characters are fascinating and we can't wait to see what happens next.
