The First Sophie's Adventure Mystery
Sophie is on a mission-follow the man who stole a necklace once belonging to Madame Pompadour, patron of the arts in the 1700s. Traveling from Calais to Paris and on to London with gumption, wigs, and some unexpected help Sophie is determined to get this treasured heirloom back!
I enjoyed meeting Sophie is this first Sophie's Adventure Mystery. She's determined, smart, and dare I say, plucky! I enjoyed the surprises she encountered and ultimately rendered!
THE POMPADOUR NECKLACE is a very short story. I read the whole thing in one sitting...in the bathtub! Despite its brevity, the characters are well developed and the plot captivating. It's the first in the series, but I sense a lot of backstory. I look forward to learning more.
A delightfully quick read, THE POMPADOUR NECKLACE is an intriguing start to a new series featuring historical objects, travel, and memorable characters.
