Fun, fascinated, and a fan of adventure: all words to describe the Lady Rogue of this book, Theodora. She’s the daughter of the first woman archaeologist to graduate from a university in Romania, as well as the grand, larger-than-life explorer, Richard Fox. Told between alternating journal entries from Fox’s travel journal and Theodora’s first person […]
This review may contain slight spoilers for the Stalking Jack the Ripper series. Ahhh, another satisfying end to a series and my heart is so full!
