Fiona Davis writes historical novels that take place in some of the most fashionable settings you can imagine. Her latest offering, The Stolen Queen keeps this trend going in the best possible way. What can be better for nineteen-year-old Annie than being asked to help with New York’s Met Gala?
On the night of the big event, one of the rare Egyptian artifacts goes missing and Annie must work with Charlotte, one of the museum’s curators to find the missing piece and restore the Met’s reputation, along with their own. Soon the two women head to Egypt to solve the theft and bring the statue back to it’s home in New York.
For Charlotte the trip to Egypt brings many memories of time spent in the country during the 1930’s. It’s a perilous journey for her emotionally. And soon enough it may put both of them in danger. In the end, they uncover truths about an ancient Egyptian Queen as well as Charlotte’s own past. This sweeping novel takes on such heady topics as who owns a country’s cultural pieces and long buried family secrets.
