The Man in the Black Suit is a book I have been waiting to read for a year now, and I have to say it far surpassed my expectations! As with all of this author's books, it captures your interest from the first page, and long after I finished this book I could not stop thinking about it.
This book tells the story of Nicholas and Acacia, who through a series of events, come in contact with each other and then their lives are changed in the blink of an eye. After reporting Nicholas when she sees what appears to be a stolen painting he is trying to hide from her she contacts a former boyfriend in the BRB, a branch of French police that work on stolen art and other valuables. After the hotel is searched and Nicholas is released after brief questioning, Acacia's supervisor lets her know they are no longer happy with her work.
On the other hand Nicholas is impressed by Acacia's honesty and her attitude to do what is right. Nicholas knows that she is probably going to get fired, so he offers her a job as his personal assistant. Acacia reluctantly agrees as she knows she will have her work visa revoked, a real problem that Nicholas stated he will take care of. So Acacia starts travelling the world with Nicholas looking for answers to what Nicholas is looking for. The most important thing to Nicholas is finding a painting that his sister's life was taken when their gallery was robbed.
Although they are attracted to each other and falling in love they both are hiding very important secrets that can get them killed. There is a lot of suspense and angst in this book and a plot that does not quit. Finally all cards are revealed and the suspense almost made me crazy along with a few other things that happen. What a Great read.
The best part of reading this book is that if you have read all of his other books you will find things mentioned that took place and are mentioned! Also the way the author writes is so special, and the books are well turned out.
The most important message in this book is the necessity to obtain redemption, suffering, the human spirit and the need for love and kindness and this thought has been in every novel. We also learn a lot even though this is fiction, we learn about art and places all over the world.
I gave this book 5*****stars but it is so good there should be no limit of the rating on this one.

About the author
An amazing artwork worth 5shining stars
The time waiting for this new book from Sylvain Reynard was worth every day! Love and appreciate how brilliantly Sylvain Reynard entwine religions and cultures. How in a once again amazing writing teaches the readers in so many ways. And mostly for cheering and emphasizing for kindness, love, hope, charity and peace. Every word, every place every gesture has more than one meaning. Everything is so deep. For me this novel is a special surprise on many levels. I visited Paris in October and unknowingly I went around the places mentioned in the novel several times. I also visited all the other places mentioned in the novel. While reading it I felt being there once again, the descriptions are amazingly vivid. Sylvain Reynard has done it again. Yes he makes us readers feel special. What do I mean by that? Well reading The Man in the Black Suit you are experiencing places, artwork, relationships as if you are there in the middle of everything, as if you are the protagonist yourself. It is a wonderful captivating story that takes us readers traveling enjoying settings created with so much realistic and amazing detailed writing. This is another book by Sylvain Reynard that captivated me from start to finish. The alternating chapters from Nicholas and Acacia’s POW is a new style for SR, but once you start reading you can’t stop. The mystery, the intrigue, the suspense, the secrets both characters are hiding makes this novel a “one sitting read”. You can’t get enough, it is impossible to put it down. I enjoyed immensely to learn about the real man behind the Black Suit, but also who Acacia really is. These two new characters created by Sylvain Reynard are both facing a personal development, but they are actually survivors. Acacia is a strong compassionate heroine filled with so much understanding and love. Nicholas is also a strong and noble character. He does everything in his power to protect his loved ones. Having three religions in my family, and being an immigrant gives me the extra experience to understand culture /religion fusions. Loved every minute of this epic writing. This is once again brilliant novel from SR penmanship. Thank you Sylvain Reynard for your research, knowledge, love of art, beautiful places, your determination to want to lift your charachters to better insight, for wanting them to be better persons and for believing in unconditional love and kindness. Also for lifting so important issues as terrorism and weapon trafficking. Lastly for believing in inclusion, diversity of traditions, of religions, of cultures, of language, of nations. Thank you for writing! ♥️
