Publisher's summary

“A winner...combines the pace and style of Brown’s Da Vinci Code and the densely plotted espionage of Daniel Silva’s Gabriel Allon novels.” (The Florida Times-Union)

Atlanta judge Rachel Cutler loves her job and her kids, but her life takes a dark turn when her father dies under strange circumstances, leaving behind clues to a secret about one of the greatest treasures ever made by man. Forged of the exquisite gem, the Amber Room inexplicably disappeared sometime during World War II.

Determined to solve its mysteries, Rachel takes off for Germany with her ex-husband, Paul, close behind. Before long, they’re in over their heads. Locked into a treacherous game with professional killers, Rachel and Paul find themselves on a collision course with the forces of greed, power, and history itself.

Praise for The Amber Room

“Compelling...adventure-filled...a fast-moving, globe-hopping tale.” (San Francisco Chronicle)

“Thrilling...fast-paced, highly entertaining.” (Baton Rouge Advocate)

Critic reviews

"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)

“Magnificently engrossing, with wonderful characters and a plot that speeds, twists, and turns. Pure intrigue, pure fun.” (Clive Cussler)

“Steve Berry has written a tremendous first novel. He weaves vivid details into a lightning quick read.” (Stephen Frey, author of Silent Partner)

Scott Brick is as good as always

Slow book to start, and not one to download if you're not into a detailed history of art, but the plot thickened nicely and Scott Brick is as talented as always in his narration.

What a nice surprise!

I periodically like to try books from authors that I've not heard of. This sounded interesting, and I just love Scott Brick! I REALLY enjoyed this book! I played it straight through- have done nothing for the past day and a half! The book is well-researched, exciting, and just plain good. I highly recommend it!

Great Story

I have read most of the Cotton Malone books. This is my first Audible Steve Barry book, and after reading the summary and the reviews, I didn’t know what to expect. I liked the performance and the story, but it took me a while to get interested in the characters and for them to be believable. Overall, I began to really enjoy the story once I understood the character’s motives.

Pleasant - Not Great - Just Pleasant

I love the works of Steve Berry. Thus, I listened to the Amber Room on a long road trip when I could take it in,in two uninterrupted installments. It did pleasantly help the passage of time. But…I was not really drawn into the story the way other works by Berry have done. Yes I liked it but…there’s that darn “but” again…it did not grab me. The book flowed. The characters were well defined. But…the plot was of mild interest. Maybe you have to be a German or Russian to care about the Amber Room. Steve did not make me care. Who was killing whom and why was intriguing but (O K, however)…not enough to keep me riveted. I do recommend the Amber Room for long road trips when you want to help the passage of time except when you want a spellbinding listen.

A must read for everyone

This novel was written so well, and with such fine details I believe any mature reader would fall in love with it.

A history buff, a thrill seeker, or a casual novel reader can pick this book up and understand the depth and perfect situations crafted by Steve Berry.

Audio books are also my favorite format to consume books now because I can perform other small tasks while enjoying amazing books like this.
