The Metropolitan Affair
The Metropolitan Affair: On Central Park #1 | Jocelyn Green
1 post | 1 read
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.

OK, I‘ve managed a Bail and an almost Pan on this one for my #ReadYourKindle picks in May so far…I‘m on a roll! This one unfortunately was simply boring (not much actually taking place), and there was entirely too much waffling back and forth by the main character on whether one character was a good guy or bad guy. And there didn‘t seem to be much chemistry in the romance portion. Now that I think of it, it really does sound like a Pan.😆 2/5⭐️

Crazeedi At least you're getting books off your kindle! I find some I bought just weren't very good 6mo
robinb @Crazeedi I‘m discovering that as well. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I think I bought this because I had already read one from this author that was just “OK” and thought this one might be better. 6mo
