WOW! Fiona Davis, the author of “The Stolen Queen” has written a spectacular masterpiece, that is a memorable treasure. Fiona Davis is one of my favorite authors, and I am thrilled to have the opportunity to read an early copy from NetGalley. The Genres for this story are: Historical Fiction, Literary Fiction, Crime, Mystery, and Suspense, and Adult Fantasy. The locations for this story take place in Egypt, and the Metropolitan Museum in New York City. The timelines for this story are 1936 and 1978. I love how Fiona Davis writes about the power, struggles, courage and triumphs of women. I appreciate how the author discusses mother and daughter relationships, and the sisterhood of women. The author vividly describes the landscapes, scenery, plot, and dramatic and colorful characters.
Charlotte Cross, is on an archaeological dig in Egypt in 1936 and discovers historical significant finds. At the same time Charlotte, meets with disaster and tragedy, which will stay with her forever. In 1978, Charlotte is an assistant curator for the Met. For several years, Charlotte has been researching Hathorkare, “a rare female Pharaoh” to prove that she was significant to other Egyptologists.There is also speculation that Hathorkare has a legendary curse.
In 1978, 18 year old Annie Jenkins gets the amazing opportunity to help with the Met Gala. Annie comes from a dysfunctional family, and is very creative. Annie and Charlotte meet when an important artifact is missing the night of the Met Gala. Both team up to search and discover the disappearance of this.
This is a book with secrets, deceptions, mystery, sabotage, and deadly danger. Fiona Davis takes the reader on an adventurous journey for answers, truth and justice. I highly recommend this impressive and captivating novel.
