Sleeping With Ghosts
A blockbuster novel of suspense, intrigue and revenge, from the celebrated author of Platinum Coast and Eclipse
Kathryn de Moubray comes from a respectable English family. So when she discovers that her grandfather was a high-ranking Nazi and wanted war criminal who disappeared in 1944, she is devastated – and compelled to trace the family history that her mother, now dead, kept hidden for so many years.
Adam Krantz, a New York art dealer whose family was wiped out in the Holocaust, is on a mission to find their an exquisite collection of paintings which vanished at the same time as Kathryn’s grandfather. Adam is convinced that the two are connected.
They meet in St Lucia, and again in London when a priceless painting turns up mysteriously, amidst a storm of controversy. Despite the bitterness and betrayal of the past, the attraction between them grows stronger. But will it unite them or drive them apart as they unravel the extraordinary events that took place in wartime Berlin more than fifty years ago?

Ok finished the chapter. Still bored and annoyed. Flicked to the end to see if I was being unfair or hormonal (two I did not like in a row). Predicted the ending, Read it. Blergh. I just can't!
If you didn't see my comment, to recap the book is very misogynistic with all the women irritating and stupid and all the men predatory but somehow portrayed as desirable and good. NOPE. "All" is an exaggeration but 2012 is way too recent to still be painting the world in 50s gender stereotypes.

Bordering on being a very good story but the sex/romance (although periodic) is somewhat out of place in parts and near perverse. Kathryn is told that she is the granddaughter of a German SS officer, shocked by the news given to her at her mother's funeral. Then an Impressionist painting comes up for sale and is said to be stolen. Adam is in search for the art collection taken from his family during WW2.
