About this ebook

The author of The Woman Who Heard Color transports readers to a dreary Good Friday in Prague in an "intriguing thriller"* as the mysterious death of a nun sets off a tangled chain of events that inexorably draws three strangers together—and forever changes their lives…

Just after the fall of the Berlin Wall, aspiring journalist Dana Pierson joined the hordes of young people traveling to Eastern Europe to be a part of history. There, she and her best friend were swept up in the excitement of the Velvet Revolution. Twenty years later, Dana returns to the city of her youthful rebellion to reconnect with her old confidant, who never left the city. But the visit that was reserved for healing intimacies and giddy reminiscences is marred by a strange death in one of Prague’s most famous Catholic churches—and an even more peculiar mystery surrounding it…

In a city where the past is never far from the present, Dana must work with a conflicted Italian priest and a world-weary Czech investigator to unlock dark secrets hidden in Prague’s twisted streets. But the key to solving the puzzle may lie in memories of Dana’s long-ago visit, even as she is forced to face the reality of a more recent loss…

    LOST AND FOUND IN PRAGUE is a complex, multi-layered mystery involving a politician's recent murder that has possible ties to a priceless holy relic and events that took place during the Velvet Revolution. Dana, an American journalist, last visited Prague in 1989 during the protests of Communist rule. Her cousin Caroline stayed in the city, but she has called Dana back to help investigate a suspicious death at Our Lady Victorious church. She then gets pulled into an even bigger mystery involving the murder of a senator and the Infant of Prague holy relic.The plot was complicated, but I was intrigued to find out how all the pieces of the puzzle fit together. My mind was spinning at times trying to keep the details straight, since past events kept overlapping with the present. I enjoyed learning the back stories of the characters (most of whom where troubled) and how they related to the mystery. I was especially curious about Caroline, and her decision to stay in Prague 20 years earlier. My favorite character was the city of Prague itself. The author did a great job bringing this fascinating Eastern European city and its rich history to life. 3.5 Stars.Disclosure: I received a copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

    I loved the premise of this book. It takes place in Prague twenty years after the Velvet Revolution. The characters were also great. Dal is a detective going through marriage struggles and find the murderer of a senator. He has his own struggles that he’s trying to deal with and balance out. Dana is on vacation, and stumbles into a mystery concerning the Infant of Prague. Her cousin wants her to help figure out what happened with a nun in the convent, and what really happened that night. Father Borelli is only trying to help a fellow priest and friend in the events that happened at the church. I enjoyed the mystery. I was left guessing, and trying to figure out what was going to happen next. The way these three characters worked together was great. Each of them formed a type of bond with the other. I especially liked how Borelli and Dana came to be friends through this ordeal. I loved traveling the streets of Prague while Dal, Dana and Borelli figured out what was going on in this city, and how events were connected.

    This book has many layers of mystery and intrigue. Chief Investigator Damek of the Czech National Police Force is investigating the murder of a prominent politician. Dana Pierson, an American reporter, is returning to Prague after a twenty-year absence to visit her cousin Caroline, who is now Sister Agnes. On the flight to Prague, she meets Father Borelli who has been called to Prague by his friend Father Ruffino. Sister Agnes does not show up for her set appointment with Dana as there has been a death among the order, an elderly nun. However Sister Agnes does leave a note indicating that the famous Infant of Prague has been stolen and a fake is in its place. Thus begins a dangerous cat and mouse chase that brings Dana, Damek and Borelli together. It quickly comes to Dana that perhaps the youth she and Caroline were involved with twenty years previously, the time of the Velvet Revolution, may be behind these strange occurrences.I had to read slowly and carefully as there were several plots involved. Also the unfamiliarity with Czech names and places required a bit more effort. However, it was worth the effort. The writing is quite descriptive and I could feel the emotions of the characters. I really cared about Damek, Dana, and Borelli. They had their flaws which made them that much more real. I got wrapped up in the personal stories of Damek and Dana. The political intrigue kept me wondering as to who could trust whom. I loved how the author brought Prague to life through her descriptions. I definitely will be reading more of her books.Additional note: Visit her website at kellyjonesbooks.com to see photos of the places mentioned in the book.

    I loved the premise of this book. It takes place in Prague twenty years after the Velvet Revolution. This is a place that I would love to one day visit and the setting immediately drew me in.

    The characters were great also. Dal is a detective going through marriage struggles and find the murderer of a senator. He has his own struggles that he’s trying to deal with and balance out. Dana is on vacation, and stumbles into a mystery concerning the Infant of Prague. Her cousin wants her to help figure out what happened with a nun in the convent, and what really happened that night. Father Borelli is only trying to help a fellow priest and friend in the events that happened at the church. He also learns a few things about himself.

    I enjoyed the mystery. I was left guessing, and trying to figure out what was going to happen next. The way these three characters worked together was great. Each of them formed a type of bond with the other. I especially liked how Borelli and Dana came to be friends through this ordeal. The only thing I didn’t care for was the epilogue and ending. It seemed a little too easy, and clean cut. Other than that, I loved traveling the streets of Prague while Dal, Dana and Borelli figured out what was going on in this city, and how events were connected.
