This was such a wonderful book, taking place in Paris during WWII and then in 1980s the US. A stolen bracelet, a jewel thief, the mystery of a murder, secrets of the past. And an amazing ending.

This book is an adult romance novel about Harriet and Wyn, who have been the “perfect couple”, but they break up. However, they still pretend they are dating because they don’t want to ruin their friends’ last trip at the cottage. I give this book a three out of five stars because it was a good read. I didn’t hate it, but it was not exactly my type of read. For an adult romance, the problems and fights that the characters had felt very teenager like arguments. I liked the friendship dynamic and how there were multiple characters all with their own internal problems so overall it was a good read, just not my favorite.

Caroline has been missing for over 25 years. Her three best friends know something, but what is it they know? The three remaining women have led different lives. They all keep a promise to return to their hometown 25 years later, on the anniversary of the disappearance of Caroline, a promise they made to Caroline. While they are there, Carolines high school boyfriend from all those years ago, is found dead. A complicated plot, with some great clues along the way, if you recognize them. I had some idea’s, some proven right, some proven wrong. I enjoyed this intriguing mystery.

In 1936, a young Charlotte Cross has the chance of a lifetime to explore the ruins of Ancient Egypt at an archaeological dig in Valley of the Kings. She is given opportunities to work alongside archaeologists, excavate artifacts, and do research on an ancient female pharoah, Hathorkare. She falls in love with a fellow archaeologist from London and then tragedy strikes. In 1978, Charlotte Cross is now a curator in the Egyptian wing at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NY. Over the years she has continued to research Hathorkare and come up with a theory of her demise. On the night of the Met Gala, Charlotte's extensive research and an Egyptian artifact are stolen from the museum! Nineteen year old Annie Jenkins, who just began working as an assistant to Diana Vreeland, former Vogue fashion editor and organizer of the Gala, becomes a person of interest in the robbery. Charlotte and Annie team up to clear her name and find the thief and stolen artifact. This leads them to Egypt where the story began. If you like archaeology, ancient history, and this author I think you will like this book. I think it is Fiona Davis' best!

I loved this book. It is well written and it is a great story with a bit of a surprise ending It is about 2 writers,one male one female,that are both interested in writing the Biography of a woman from a wealthy family who has been in hiding for a lot of years As the two people compete to get the rights to the book they form a friendship with each other Which leads to something more. You will have to read the book to find out what happens between themI recommend this book.

This novel takes place in Italy during WWII and follows Lili's journey to survive in the occupied country.

Another book in the Shana Merchant series. Another good one!

A woman inherits a beach house on Fire Island and spends the summer there trying to figure out her life. This book is kind of a sequel to On Fire Island, with some of the characters from that book in this one. It's a cute rom-com. Lots of characters, a love-hate relationship.

I really enjoyed this book about family relationships. It was a nice look into a close italian family relationship and how they support one another. The relationship between Jess and Leo is inspiring. I liked having the setting in beautiful Italy and hearing the many descriptions of Italian, delicious food.
