FIVE STRANGERS IN FLORENCE, EACH WITH A DANGEROUS SECRET. AND AN APOCALYPTIC FLOOD THREATENING TO REVEAL EVERYTHING.
A wife on the run, a student searching for stolen art, a cleaner who has lined more than his pockets, a policeman whose career is almost over, and a guest who should never have received a wedding invite. Five strangers, entangled in the forger’s wicked web, amidst Florence’s devastating flood of November 1966.
In a race against time, and desperate to save themselves and all they hold dear, will their secrets prove more treacherous than the ominous floodwaters swallowing the historic city?
Dive into a world of lies and deceit, where nothing is as it seems on the surface…
Review:
The Forger and the Theif by Kristen Mckenzie is an entertaining mixture of historical fiction, thriller, and mystery. I absolutely love this mixture. It was written so well, and kept me engaged from beginning to end!
The characters are perfectly defined. I had no issue figuring out who was who, and I felt like these were real people. I love character driven novels, and this is definitely that.
Overall, I really enjoyed this novel. Unique, and thoroughly entertaining. Check it out.
