Cassiopeia Vitt takes center stage in this exciting novella from New York Times best-selling authors M. J. Rose and Steve Berry.

In the French mountain village of Eze, Cassiopeia visits an old friend who owns and operates the fabled Museum of Mysteries, a secretive place of the odd and arcane. When a robbery occurs at the museum, Cassiopeia gives chase to the thief and is plunged into a firestorm.

Through a mix of modern-day intrigue and ancient alchemy, Cassiopeia is propelled back and forth through time, the inexplicable journeys leading her into a hotly contested French presidential election. Both candidates harbor secrets they would prefer to keep quiet, but an ancient potion could make that impossible.

With intrigue that begins in Southern France and ends in a chase across the streets of Paris, this magical, fast-paced hold-your-breath thriller is everything you've come to expect from M. J. Rose and Steve Berry.

I am accustomed to Steve Berry’s books being less “out there”. More believable. I also did not particularly like the narrators voice and cadence.

Not my cup of tea

I love all of Steve Berry's works. The plot is excellent as is the connection to the past that I find so fascinating. The characters come alive. Loved it.

I expected a story similar to the Cotton Malone books. This was different. Not bad by any means, but definitely different. This had a much more pronounced female feeling. The subject matter also of a more intimate nature. Mind you, not obscene by any stretch, but there is a definite sexual element to the story. Where as Cotton tends to force physical confrontations, Cassiopeia leans into the intellectual challenge. This suits the character well and makes for an interesting story.

My only quibble, and it's a small one, is that the narrator had a really hard time with the voice of Cotton when he makes his brief appearances. I recommend this book, although perhaps not for younger readers for the reasons I alluded to above.

The joint writing of Berry and Rose continues to hit home runs. Cassiopeia adventures hook the reader (listener) within the first paragraph and keeps you on the edge of your seat up to the climax and through the anticlimax. Not sure the order, but Lake of the Learning is another Berry and Rose story to get. Cassiopeia as a stand-alone main character is the perfect heroine. I know I’ll be looking forward to many more works from these terrific writers.

I love the chemistry of the perfume industry and the healing and hypnotic effects of different extracts. I was disappointed by the continuous slippage of the Berry/Rose narratives into more mysticism and spiritualism. The extra efforts to be anti-Christian does not enhance the overall product. Thankfully, M.J. wrote the sex scenes. That is one of the best orgasms I've heard since a Nora Roberts audiobook.
