The necklace had once belonged to Madame Pompadour—mistress of the French King Louis XV.

Now it’s gone. Stolen by a clever conman. And it will take every ounce of determination and ingenuity a young woman possesses to recover it.

But can a mere girl from Calais outwit a practiced fraudster?

My Review:

The Pompadour Necklace is book one in the Sophie's Adventures mystery series. This adventure takes place in London, England. We are introduced to Sophie, a wonderful character, and get to follow her on the case to find a missing necklace. What a wonderful start to the series. 

Short and sweet, The Pompadour Necklace doesn't lack depth or substance. I enjoyed the characters, plot, and mystery. A fun read, for sure. 

I was provided a copy of this book.

In Sleepy Hollow, a Monet is in danger of being spirited away. . .

But undercover art sleuth Sophie Fisher—also known as Jeanne Sophie Poisson— is on the trail of the brazen art thief.

From a Hudson River Cruise to Cold Spring to a spooky lantern-light tour of Sleepy Hollow Cemetery, Sophie will do what it takes to capture the thief . . .

And prevent him from spiriting away a valuable work of art.

 My Review:

Theft in Sleepy Hollow is book two in the Sophie's Adventures mystery series. This adventure takes place in New York, USA. Sophie is a wonderful character and I loved getting to follow her on the case to find a missing Monet. 

Sleepy Hollow is a novella of a nice length. The story is written well, not lacking in depth or substance. I enjoyed the characters, plot, and mystery. I loved the twists and turns as Sophie unraveled the mystery to capture a thief. 

I was provided a copy of this book.

  1. I’m delighted you enjoyed both books! I loved writing them. Art heists and the work that goes into recovering stolen masterpieces is simply fascinating. And I loved visiting Sleepy Hollow with Sophia!

  2. Good to hear! If you haven't already tried them, you might also enjoy the Celine Skye mysteries. They feature a psychic art sleuth who takes on the unsolved Gardner Museum theft. Most of the action takes place around Paso Robles and Boston, so not quite as much traveling as you get in the Sophie's Adventures series.
