📚📚📚 🎧: Olivia Vinall
Set in 1800‘s and following a young woman & her shady uncle who have an antiquities shop. Story centers on a Greek pithos (vase) & secret treasure. Not a lot of twists, FMC doesn‘t have a lot of agency, low stakes. Not a great payoff at the end, just okay.
First dnf of 2024 😕just not for me all too bland and with a TBR like mine it‘s time to get harsh and after 64 pages if it‘s not cutting it then that‘s that !
I am posting one book per day from my extensive to-be-read collection. No description and providing no reason for wanting to read it, I just do. Some will be old, some will be new. Don‘t judge me - I have a lot of books. Join in if you want!

Strong writing and interesting characters and yet I often found it difficult to pick this book back up once I set it down. The detailed descriptions set the scenes beautifully but so much time was spent on everything other than the mystery which was then resolved so quickly and conveniently at the end with some of it a bit too overblown for me to swallow. I am eager to read with she writes next because I did enjoy her writing style so much.
Set in London in 1799, Dora works in her uncle's shop which used to belong to her parents. A Greek vase arrives and Dora is intrigued by it. Her uncle is acting suspicious so she asks Edward Lawrence to help with discovering where it came from. It has romance, secrets, greek mythology and mystery I really enjoyed it.
I started this book today and I am enjoying it a lot.
Ok, so it‘s Brendan Fraser‘s “The Mummy” but Greek ❤️
A rare guest stopping by. Sitting outside with my ARC and Litsy mug to catch a few rays of sunshine.
