Keeper's Reach / Carla Neggers / 313 pages

This is a Sharpe and Donovan novel and perhaps because I have not read any of the other books, I felt the characters to be a bit transparent.  With additional back story, I believe they would come to life more.  The story opens with an attack on an elderly gardener in the Cotswolds of England, then spirals and expands to include numerous FBI agents (two of whom are engaged), an ex-nun, a fledgling security company, vets, a reformed art thief, and, of course, the four Donovan brothers.
