I was swept back in time with this novel. This story blends elements of romance ,mystery, and historical fiction and is beautifully written. It will linger with the reader long after the last page.
Many thanks to Black Rose Writing and to Netgalley for providing me with a galley in exchange for my honest opinion.

Love history, ancient egypt, Nefertiti, mystery this is your book. Great read what if you were to go back into history when Nefertiti statue was found and what was going on the background. Lee, weaves an intriguing story, characters your vested in, descriptive locations, and time-frame when archeological digs were very pronounced. There are twists and turns so you never know exactly what is really happening.
This is my first read by this author and looking forward to reading more.
I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

For those who love history, archaeology, and art, The Beautiful One is a fun read that can best be summed up as a museum caper. When a couple of Egypt nationals find themselves in Germany on the heels of the discovery of Nefertiti's famous statue, they become enmeshed in the cross-hairs of a criminal enterprise. This story was a fun and engaging read and provided insights into the world of archaeology and the complexity of authenticity.
