Welcome to my altered journey through life. You never know if I will be into home improvements, knee deep in a good book, on an Alaskan cruise or just being silly. I hope this blog will give you tips, tricks, ideas and books to add to your TBR list. Thanks for stopping by.
Punch, Pastries, and Poison by Harper LinI am in a book club where just about everyone in the group simply adores a Fiona Davis book. It is pretty much a given that our club will read this book and I hope you will too.
If you have never read a Fiona book, please get started right now! If you have read the entire catalog you will find that this one fits in nicely with all the others. As usual, Fiona gives us a book set in an NYC landmark, in two time periods. This book gives us Angelica/Lillian who is trying to rebuild her life after the Spanish flu ruined everything for her. She is a woman who will drop a false identity of a nude model and live life anew under her legal name, Lillian, as a personal secretary to Helen Frick. Helen's dad is Henry Clay Frick, a very wealthy man who has put it in his will that on his death his home and his thrilling art collection will become a museum.
The modern part of the story has another model that finds herself on a job at the site of the Frick Museum. Here she meets an intern who will help her solve a mystery that dates back to the days of the infamous Angelica. As a reader, we are pulled back and forth between the two time periods watching a murder mystery unfold before our very eyes.
You're going to love this one!!
