5/5

“The story’s realistic historical Maritime setting comes to life through rich, convincing detail…makes for an ambitious thriller.”

Aimee

“Stolen Brilliance is an exciting historical mystery novel full of heists, piracy, and adventure. This book was exciting and full of adventure overseas. There is a bit of spice, but the most intriguing part of the book was the mystery surrounding the diamond heist.

If you enjoy pirates, books including master criminals and a teeny bit of romance, you will enjoy this book.”

Ariana

“A superb read full of action on the double life she (Edie) led on her adventures. A captivating read from the start.”
