The Florentine Pursuit: A Sean Wyatt Thriller (Sean Wyatt Historical Mysteries) Reviews
-
Related to the Sean Wyatt series, this short story takes Sean and sidekick Tommy on a wild pursuit of a fabled gem of bygone ownership.
Flying to and thru several locations, the duo is joined by a female Italian archeologist, who is bent on recovering the gem ahead of a pursuing Italian mob family. There are several frenetic shoot outs and heavy carnage along the way.
Basically a well done thriller, except for the untoward violence, some confusion over who-did-what-to-whom, and a reliance on the old hack when Tommy is abducted by the bad guys for leverage.
Then there’s a redemption when the seemingly meek lady archeologist… well, read it and enjoy. -
Outstanding new Sean Wyatt story!!!
With each new year I've come to realize that one of the things I truly look forward to is a new Sean Wyatt novel from Mr. Ernest Dempsey. This year I know it's going to be even better because January started off with a Sean Wyatt novella, The Florentine Pursuit. While it may be shorter than one of the full-length Sean Wyatt novels it lacks nothing in action, intrigue, or the pursuit of a missing object that takes Sean and Tommy on new adventures. In fact, we are introduced to new character Giulia, an archaeologist from Italy who brings the story of the missing Florentine diamond to Sean. Following Sean and Giulia in the pursuit of the clues leading to the location of the diamond is both exciting and heart wrenching at times. This is one of those stories that has something for every reader, and several surprises that in my case I can say “I didn’t see that coming.”
Finishing the story is bitter-sweet, but I know there will be a full-length Sean Wyatt novel coming sometime later this year, as well as offerings in Mr. Dempsey's other series. So, I have to say he started my year off right and whetted my appetite for my Sean Wyatt fix early on. Well done Mr. Dempsey. I received an Advanced Reader Copy of The Florentine Pursuit from the author and chose to provide this review. -
OH MY GIDDY AUNT.
What an absolute humdinger of a book.
This is a bit shorter than normal but that doesn't prevent it from being action packed throughout.
Sean does tend to get himself into a wee bit of trouble in this one!
We are introduced the the lovely Giulla an archaeologist from Italy who is searching for the missing Florentine diamond that hasn't been seen for over a hundred years.
With the help from Sean and Tommy their search takes them from Orlando to Buenos Aires and Miami.
Of course they aren't the only ones looking for the missing diamond. The notorious and deadly Rossi clan want it for themselves.
There are some wickedly good shoot out scenes in the book as well as ' I didn't see that one coming ' moments. -
The Florentine Pursuit - a review by Rosemary Kenny.
Sean Wyatt's wife, the lovely - and deadly - Adriana Villa is absent on business, leaving him open to a mission posited by Giulia, an archeologist with a hidden secret in her past.
This leads the seemingly disparate duo on an international treasure-hunt, that will put the lives of innocents in danger and end those who deserve it.
With a flavour of The Da Vinci Code and a hint of a James Bond movie, get Ernest Dempsey's magnificent The Florentine Pursuit today, to see where the trail leads! -
Very well written. Full of non-stop action, with a small bit of history sprinkled in. Will Sean Wyatt, his friend Tommy, and the mysterious Giuilia find the long lost Florentine diamond? Follow them as they trek through North and South America, following many clues, to search for the elusive gem. Come to find out, they are not the only ones after the diamond. I thoroughly enjoyed this read and look forward to more novels by Ernest Dempsey.

Another exciting Sean Wyatt adventure. Very entertaining. Mr Dempsey always puts in a twist to surprise the reader. I sure wasn’t expecting this one. Thanks Ernest. Highly recommended as are all his books.
-
Infuriatingly anticlimactic! The journey was ok, but the payoff just wasn’t there. It was one of those books that ended all of a sudden, leaving me saying “oh. That’s it? Huh.”
I have enjoyed this series in the past, but this one felt totally incomplete. -
A great story from Ernest, which I thoroughly enjoyed. Highly recommended.
-
A lot of twist.
This one had a lot of twist and turns. Good job Mr. Dempsey. I really enjoy your books. Keep it up. -
Another great adventure for Sean Wyatt with lots of intrigue, chases, killing of bad guys and an interesting conclusion. This was a fun read in a really great ongoing series.

The Florentine Pursuit is an exciting, shoot-‘em-up, Sean Wyatt story with a great twist at the end.
