THE ART OF LOVE
Chilufiya Safaa
Dafina, May, 251 pp., $6.99
ISBN: 0758219733

In Virginia, when afro-centric art gallery owner Afiya Terrell meets sophisticated art broker Ibra Diop, the attraction between them is magnetic pleasing both of them. Whenever they can, the pair tries to get together as they are falling in love.

However, Afiya who has a gift of presentiment feels her beloved is in danger. Unable to ignore her intuitive premonition, Afiya begins to investigate what and who endangers Ibra. Soon she finds herself caught in the midst of international jewel thieves, who use murder to cover their felonious activities. As she believes in her heart that Ibra is innocent, the overwhelming evidence points towards her true love being not only part of the dangerous gang, but also its leader.

The latest of the four Terrell sisters' international thriller (see PASSIONATE ENCOUNTERS) is a delightful amateur sleuth romantic suspense. The lead couple is an interesting pairing as the heroine believes based on her intuitive skills that her beloved is innocent so goes out to prove it, which places her in danger from thieves willing to kill without blinking. Readers will enjoy this fine tale that goes back and forth from America to overseas locales like Senegal.
