I received this book for free from in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.

I really loved the idea of a woman jewel thief. Especially during the 19th century, add in the act that she eluded police and I was looking forward to this read. That being said, I had a difficult time getting into this book. I’m not sure if was the characters or what but in the end this was just didn’t do it for me. The idea of the story is great and it made be the next best read for some.
