Description

A New York Times Bestseller From New York Times bestselling author Fiona Davis, an utterly addictive new novel that will transport you from New York City’s most glamorous party to the labyrinth streets of Cairo and back. Egypt, 1936: When anthropology student Charlotte Cross is offered a coveted spot on an archaeological dig in Egypt’s Valley of the Kings, she leaps at the opportunity. That is until an unbearable tragedy strikes. New York City, 1978: Nineteen-year-old Annie Jenkins is thrilled when she lands an opportunity to work for former Vogue fashion editor Diana Vreeland, who’s in the midst of organizing the famous Met Gala, hosted at the museum and known across the city as the “party of the year.” Meanwhile, Charlotte is now leading a quiet life as the associate curator of the Met’s celebrated Department of Egyptian Art. She’s consumed by her research on Hathorkare—a rare female pharaoh dismissed by most other Egyptologists as unimportant. The night of the gala: One of the Egyptian art collection’s most valuable artifacts goes missing, and there are signs Hathorkare’s legendary curse might be reawakening. Annie and Charlotte team up to search for the missing antiquity, and a desperate hunch leads the unlikely duo to one place Charlotte swore she’d never return: Egypt. But if they have any hope of finding the artifact, Charlotte will need to confront the demons of her past—which may mean leading them both directly into danger. Read more

  • Found Queens; Solved Mysteries!
Format: Kindle
Fiona Davis’s gifts are historical research, detailed descriptions, and nuanced narrative through character perspectives and time lenses. So no surprise that she delivers, yet again, a superb story fusion of history and mystery focused on Egyptian relics, dramas, losses, and recoveries. Set in the Metropolitan, no red carpet is needed, but certainly welcome as behind the scenes exhibition imagining, constructing, and preparing reveal the intricacies and dedication of all manner of professionals, from educated experts to volunteers, from docents and pages, to department heads to donors. The story includes flashbacks to a period in 1937 to the present day of story’s time, but the shifts whir and spin well, magnifying intrigue, suspense, and curiosity. Beyond the story are debated concepts about the ownership or provenance of relics, artifacts, and discoveries. What roles could and should museums possess in protecting, showcasing, and/or relocating artifacts? Fortunately, the answer left for readers to decide or consider. Davis’s books provide multiple gifts: inspiring history, insightful information, and dramatic story. Always worth reading! ... show more

  • Easy Read
Format: Hardcover
I skipped over some of the things about Egypt and the museum pieces. I enjoyed the story behind the book about Charlette and about Annie.

  • Fun read focused on uncovering ancient Egypt
Format: Hardcover
Excellent book. I personally enjoy reading about ancient Egypt. The Stolen Queen took a more unique approach in weaving that history into the story line of archaeologists and curators focused on ancient Egypt. The author also seamlessly transitions between the two time periods for a captivating story line. ... show more

  • Stolen antiquities and lost ladies
Format: Kindle
Things I liked: descriptions of the locations in Egypt, descriptions of the 1970s Met Gala, heist mystery Things I didn’t like: Annie’s mom, things tied up a little too neatly, the swapping POV and timelines

  • Fun book to read!
Format: Hardcover
This book turned out to be far better than I thought it would. The story had a number of twists which kept me interested, although a little far fetched at times. Parts about the Met were interesting and makes you want to visit if possible. In many ways almost a beach read and you wind really liking the main characters. ... show more

  • Excellent read not to be missed!
Format: Hardcover
Two woman. One older, Charlotte and one younger, Annie. 1936 Egypt, Charlotte was with a group of archeologists on a dig in Egypt where a spectacular find was made. That find comes back to haunt her when it is on display, and then stolen from the Met's Department of Egyptian Art. Annie, working in the costume design department, is also fascinated with the item. What happened in Egypt to cause Charlotte to refuse to ever go back? Will she face her fears and travel to Egypt? What role does Annie play in all this? The characters are wonderful and described in detail. The story revolves around 1936 Egypt and New York City in 1978. I found the story to be beautifully written and this is a book that will hold your attention and have you turning the pages. ... show more
