I love M.J's books and I think this is her best in the long line. Also, this is set in 1910, before women got the vote and although we've come a very long way since then, we still have a long way to go.
1910 New York: on the face of it,
socialite Vera Garland and undercover reporter Vee Swan have nothing in common.
Vera is the daughter of a retail tycoon and Vee thinks nothing of living in
crowded filthy tenements to uncover stories of injustice. But Vee is Vera’s alter
ego, the woman who encouraged by her father feels that she can make a
difference in the world.
Vera has seen her share of tragedy
too, a recent back injury, the loss of a beloved Uncle and the devastating death
of her father has pulled the rug from under her. A letter will change all that,
shed light on a well-hidden family secret and set Vera, as Vee Swan, on the path
to take down the man she holds responsible for her father’s death. On that path
stand Pierre Cartier, jeweler and showman extraordinaire and the legendary Hope
diamond said to bring bad luck to whoever possesses it…
