The Magnolia Palace by Fiona DavisMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Historical fiction at its finest, this incredible story includes mystery, murder, betrayal and revenge all set among some the finest works of art in the world.
Lillian, also know as the renown model Angelica, hiding from a mistaken accusation of murder finds herself in front of bossy and difficult Helen Frick, who believes that she is there for a job interview. Miss Lilly begins to work with Miss Helen in the Frick residence, and she finds herself surrounded by secrets and lies.
Two timelines, from 1919 and 1966 intersect with an ending that merges the two time periods with a satisfying conclusion.
I thoroughly enjoyed this story, the characters were interesting, and likable, even the bullish Miss Helen. I highly recommend this book to all fans of historical fiction.
Thank you to Netgalley for the opportunity to review an advance reader copy of this book.
