Tea Cooper's Newest My Favorite Kind of Hist Fic
1:00 AM
(Image from Barnes & Noble)

Part of Hugh's property is an abandoned curiosity shop in Sydney that unwittingly captures Fleur's imagination and heart. As she studies its history, she's surprised to discover the place has a dark and mysterious past. Before she can stop herself, Fleur finds herself caught up in its fascinating story. It's a tale of romance, treasure, treachery, and intrigue ... and Fleur won't stop digging until she finds all the answers to the decades-old secret of a captivating, missing gem.
The Woman in the Green Dress by Australian author Tea Cooper is my favorite kind of historical fiction—clean, atmospheric, mysterious, and entertaining. The setting is colorful and exotic, the characters likable (especially the irrepressible Bert) and interesting, the mystery compelling and engrossing. True, I saw most of the plot twists coming. Also true, I didn't care as I just found this novel absorbing and enjoyable. The Woman in the Green Dress is my first book by Cooper, but it will definitely not be my last.
(Readalikes: Hm, I can't think of anything. Can you?)
Grade:
If this were a movie, it would be rated:
for violence
To the FTC, with love: I received an ARC of The Woman in the Green Dress from the generous folks at Thomas Nelson via those at TLC Book Tours in exchange for an honest review. Thank you!
