Delightful read. The messages and themes present in this book are so applicable to today's political and social climate.

I like this book because it was really fascinating and good. This book has a lot of adventure and I like fantasy books.

I think June B is the funniest group of books. She is hilarious.

A typical Gabriel Allon book which actually had two parts to it which Made it longer than usual. It was good and enjoyable.

Good book. Fun to read. Great characters. Interesting story line. Great anticipation. Excellent dialog.

I didn’t realize this was a book for middle schoolers when I picked it up . That being said the subject matter is very deep, murder, abuse , child lose and grief . I couldn’t gauge the time setting . The 13 year olds have to help out and work crabbing, culling chickens etc and they even smoke cigarettes. I feel it would be hard for children to connect to this book today.

This was a dual-timeline historical novel set in present day and WWII, but a little different from most in that the primary character is the same throughout. Present day Colette is in her 80s, but still an active jewel thief. 1940s Colette was a child, but a jewel thief even then. But she's a jewel thief with a twist--she only still from the evil, and uses the proceeds to fund positive things. An engaging story with twists and turns, centering around a two-piece bracelet.

I was so excited to hear Ali released a fantasy-based romance, and it absolutely lived up to my expectations.

I enjoyed this book - I loved putting together the sights and scents in my head and feel I could smell them. I enjoyed how she incorporated Grace Kelly with a beautiful store of a local parfumerie. I will say I was surprised by some turn of events before the passing of Grace Kelly, but it was a nice story

Finished, and it was not bad but the main characters didn’t feel real or well developed. Not the big ending to the series I was expecting.
