The Stolen Queen by Fiona Davis ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I really enjoyed the characters in this book - they were well developed, dynamic and their stories were great. I found that the multiple timelines and POVs were well written and woven together seamlessly, however I probably could have done with only 2 of them. I felt that at times it actually detracted from the story line. I thought that the descriptions were incredible and the drama was strong. I was hoping for a little more of the shock and surprise factor than the book actually had, but that may have been my issue more than the book. The story unfolds in Egypt in 1936 and NYC in 1978. Following women at a Met Galley ball, where an ancient Egyptian artifact goes missing. Annie and Charlotte team up to connect the past with the present to find the missing item. Overall, a fascinating historical fiction, with a well developed crew and storyline. The Girl from Greenwich Street by Lauren Willig ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ There were parts of this book that I LOVED and parts of this book that just did not work for me. I loved the history - Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr - sign me up! The murder mystery, true crime, history, it was all done incredibly well. Based on a true story of a young woman who was found murdered. Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr are working together to keep the man her family is convinced killed her from the gallows. I did not love the language used, I felt that although important and factual, actually detracted from the storyline. I also found that there were too many opinions and characters, that at times were hard to keep track of. I thought that the characters were incredible, well developed, described and realistic. I thought that although some parts were slow, the pacing of the book was overall really well done. If you are interested in history and true crime - this is a great one. Thank you netgalley for my arc. LTKSeasonal LTKHome LTKFindsUnder50
