Book Recommendation - The Metropolitan Affair

 

Jocelyn Green is a relatively new-to-me voice in Historical fiction, but after thoroughly enjoying her Windy City saga, I've sought out her past work and any new releases. She blends history with intrigue, mystery and romance seamlessly and pulls you into her story in a way that you get lost without knowing how. This book focused on the craze of all things Egyptian in the 1920s after the discovery of King Tut's tomb, as well as Prohibition. There were so many twists and turns that kept me turning the pages to see what would happen next! Here's a little bit about the book:

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.

This book releases wherever books are sold March 14, 2023. Be sure to check it out!
