The Prisoner of Paradise (Painted Souls Book 1) by Rob Samborn – Review by Shelly Kittell

The Prisoner of Paradise by Rob Samborn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

“Okay, then let’s prove it. Prove that it didn’t actually happen-and won’t happen again. That it’s a residual effect from the hit or when I fell. Or maybe it was a tourist. Some woman who could throw their voice.” This is one of my favorite lines in the story. Nick and Julie are in Venice on a vacation. One of the museums they check out has the painting called “paradise” and Nick swears he hears a woman’s voice coming from the painting talking to him in his head. This starts the best thriller/suspense I’ve read since The Davinci Code by Dan Brown came out. I was engaged and involved in the book right from the beginning. The story goes back and forth from 1592 to current times in Venice, Italy. With a wide cast of characters, there is something for every reader to relate to. The adventure can be intense with some twist and turns thrown in. If you love thriller/suspense, you should check this out. I will be eagerly awaiting book 2 of this series. Well done!
