genre: thriller
Dr. Anya Brown has just done the impossible: she's managed to translate the elusive Folio 9 and this achievement has set her up to get a job wherever she could want in academia. With her love of languages and exceptional memory, she is great at making connections other folks cannot see. Elsewhere, the body found on a remote Scottish beach will start a cascade of circumstances that won't affect just Anya but might somehow lead to an even deeper mystery.
Okay, do LOVE dark academia and I also do LOVE stories about ancient things, a la Indiana Jones or the Da Vinci Code, so keep that in mind. If you do NOT like those types of stories, this book will not be for you. If you DO like stories where you never know who is on your side or not as you race to put pieces of a puzzle together, then this might be worth trying. I liked that it completely centers capable and intelligent women, and overarching crux of the plot is women finding ways to create the kind of world they want, even if it does sometimes require you to suspend your disbelief a little more than you'd want. This is not a short book and I listened to the whole thing over a weekend, I was that engaged it in.
