Summary

The Amber Room is one of the greatest treasures ever made by man: an entire room forged of exquisite amber, from its four massive walls to its finely crafted furniture. But it is also the subject of one of history's most intriguing mysteries. Originally commissioned in 1701 by Frederick I of Prussia, the room was later perfected in Tsarskoe Selo, the Russian imperial city. In 1941, German troops invaded the Soviet Union, looting everything in their wake and seizing the Amber Room. When the Allies began the bombing of Germany in August 1944, the room was hidden. And despite the best efforts of treasure hunters and art collectors from around the world, it has never been seen again.

Now, two powerful men have set their best operatives loose in pursuit, and the hunt has begun once more....

Life is good for Atlanta judge Rachel Cutler. She loves her job, loves her kids, and remains civil to her ex-husband, Paul. But everything changes when her father, a man who survived the horrors of World War II, dies under strange circumstances and leaves behind clues to a secret he kept his entire life...a secret about something called the Amber Room.

Desperate to know the truth about her father's suspicious dealings, Rachel takes off for Germany, with Paul close behind. Shortly after arriving, they find themselves involved with a cast of shadowy characters who all claim to share their quest. But as they learn more about the history of the treasure they seek, Rachel and Paul realize they're in way over their heads. Locked in a treacherous game with ruthless professional killers and embroiled in a treasure hunt of epic proportions, Rachel and Paul suddenly find themselves on a collision course with the forces of power, evil, and history itself.

A brilliant adventure and a scintillating tale of intrigue, deception, art, and murder, The Amber Room is a classic tale of suspense and the debut of a strong new voice in the international thriller genre.

Critic reviews

"Plotted cleverly and written with style and substance. A welcome change from the usual legal-thriller fare from wanna-be Turows." ( Booklist)
"Sexy, illuminating, and confident. The Amber Room is my kind of thriller: a globe-trotting treasure hunt packed with exotic locales, sumptuous art, and ruthless villains. Steve Berry writes with the self-assured style of a veteran." (Dan Brown, author of The Da Vinci Code)

Very enjoyable...

What made the experience of listening to The Amber Room the most enjoyable?

Another Steve Berry classic. Was a bit sceptical at first, as I've been used to following the Cotton Malone series, but this was no disappointment.
Great storyline, with some interesting historical facts.

Any additional comments?

Another highly recommended book from Steve Berry :)

Good, not amazing.

A bit slow but once it got going it's good. Amber room is something I've never heard of as well so was very interesting to learn about this.

Enjoyable....but!!!

While enjoying the storyline and the historical content contained in this book, there were stages when I had to turn the volume down so that I couldn?t hear the narration. I could not accept that a judge, her clerk and a lawyer could act in such na?ve ways as to give vital information to complete strangers. These points of the story lacked credibility for me.
However as I became more involved in the story I did have to search on the internet for more information about The Amber Room to satisfy the curiosity that Steve Berry had generated.
I particularly appreciated the author comments and the interview he gives at the conclusion to the book. I began my enjoyment of Steve Berry?s work with The Templar Legacy and have treated myself to several more of his tales and will not hesitate to continue to source his work, even though there is occasionally some minor item that annoys me!
