Julia Beufort-Stuart returns home to Scotland
to spend the summer at her grandfather’s estate one last time, before it is
sold. When she first arrives, she is hit
over the head and left for dead by the river, but is rescued by a brother and
sister who are known as Tinkers. As
Julia tries to piece together what happened to her that day at the river,
another mystery occurs involving a missing man.
Julia works with her new Tinker friends to figure out what is
happening.
The much loved character of
Julia from Code Name Verity is the main character of this mystery. I loved the history of the Scottish pearls
and the plot line was a fun who-done-it mystery. I didn’t love how Julia’s
character was willing to kiss anyone that came her way, and it distracted from the story-to the point of ridiculousness. This book has a lot of content
including police brutality, attempted rape, and a grisly dead body.
HS – OPTIONAL. Reviewer, C. Peterson.
