Acerca de esta escucha
For years her explorer father promised Dr. Lauren Westlake she'd accompany him on one of his Egyptian expeditions. But as the empty promises mounted, Lauren determined to earn her own way. Now the assistant curator of Egyptology for the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Lauren receives two unexpected invitations. The first is her repentant father's offer to finally bring her to Egypt as his colleague on a new expedition. The second is a chance to enter the world of New York's wealthiest patrons who have been victims of art fraud. With Egyptomania sweeping the city after the discovery of King Tut's tomb, Detective Joe Caravello is on the hunt for a notorious forger preying on the open wallets of New York's high society. Dr. Westlake is just the expert he needs to help him track the criminal. Together they search for the truth, and the closer Lauren and Joe get to discovering the forger's identity, the more entangled they become in a web of deception and crime. In this rich 1920s tale, bestselling author Jocelyn Green invites you into one of New York City's most esteemed museums, where a young woman discovers secrets, betrayal, and romance.

Historia
In her bed at home in Bromma, Agnes wakes up with a jerk. Something has awakened her. Cautiously, she sneaks up to the window and peeks out from behind the curtain. The wind is blowing in the tree canopy outside the house and the darkness is compact. Suddenly something yellow gleams out from behind a little lilac bush. What is that? Agnes closes her eyes for a moment, then opens them again. The yellow light has gone.

Vivienne Rivard fled revolutionary France and seeks a new life for herself and a boy in her care, who some say is the Dauphin. But America is far from safe, as militiaman Liam Delaney knows. He proudly served in the American Revolution but is less sure of his role in the Whiskey Rebellion. Drawn together, will Liam and Vivienne find the peace they long for? Lacemaker Vivienne Rivard never imagined her craft could threaten her life. Yet in revolutionary France, it is a death sentence when the nobility, and those associated with them, are forced to the guillotine. Vivienne flees to Philadelphia but finds the same dangers lurking in the French Quarter.

Historia
Erin Coleridge's used bookstore in Kirkbymoorside, North Yorkshire, England, is a meeting place for the villagers and, in particular, for the local Jane Austen Society. At the Society's monthly meeting, matters come to a head between the old guard and its young turks. After the meeting breaks for tea, persuasion gives way to murder with extreme prejudice when president Sylvia Pemberthy falls dead to the floor. Poisoned? Presumably, but by whom? And was Sylvia the only target?

Immensely enjoyed this one!
t's a satisfyingly complex historical with elements of intrigue and romance like only Jocelyn Green can pen. I was rooting for the second chance romance thread while the mystery unraveled! The concept fits into a unique niche with Egyptian antiquities, Prohibition, and a bright NYC setting threaded together with family secrets, betrayal, and loyalties as major themes. The audiobook is narrated by a fav, too: Pilar Witherspoon.

I’m a follower of anything king tut and Ancient Egypt. A twisty story of forgers. Underpinnings of a great museum. Great read!

Ok story. Awful narrator
The narrator ending most sentences “up,” like a question, and her over-emphasis of consonants nearly led me to stop. I think this one might be better read rather than in audible form.

Fascinating story
This has been one of my favorite Christian fiction listens! The main focus is on the story (which includes mystery and intrigue) as opposed to the romance (which is still present).
I didn't care for the reading style of the narrator (her moody and unusual intonations were strange to me), but I was hooked because of the story and the setting (1920s NYC). In a way, the moody reading grew on me a bit to match the style and setting of the book in my mind, but it still sounded odd to me. Consider listening to the sample before you buy.
The historical period and Egyptian artifact information seem well-researched.
Christian beliefs are focused on most strongly at the end when the main character is finding emotional and spiritual healing. It feels a little sudden/surprising. Otherwise, they are only occasionally present in the book
Romance includes kissing and time alone together in an apartment (but no sexual innuendo besides rubbing potentially frostbitten feet/ankles with a promise to go no farther), and I appreciated that the descriptions were not steamy or overly-sensualized.
This would not be the best book for you if you have trouble with managing lots of characters as there is a decent cast of characters.
In conclusion, I really enjoyed it! I usually only listen to audiobooks when I'm doing chores, and I read printed books during my down time; but, with this book, I found myself lying down and just listening to this book during my free time too because I wanted to hear more! Thank you, Jocelyn Green!

Wonderful 1920s historical
I enjoyed listening to this novel! There was mystery, romance, and a fun setting and history. The characters were well written, and the plot kept me guessing! Lots of interesting bits about Egyptian artifacts and the Met.
