review 1: I enjoyed this book. I liked the setting in the museum and I liked that it was able to surprise me. I thought I had it all figured out, but I was wrong! That doesn't happen often.But the MC really bugged me. She was another one of those characters who ignore all the warnings to be safe, to stay out of danger, and of course, she got saved my the handsome cop at the last minute. Really? I also found the 1982 setting kind of odd. Don't know if I'll read more in this series or not.
review 2: This book gets three stars because I love the setting in our wonderful Wisconsin historical site, Old World Wisconsin. Otherwise, I'm afraid it might have been more a two star review. The protagonist, Chloe, in her first week in a new job with a lot to prove to herself and othe... morers, is incredibly derelict in her duties and really deserves to be fired. The mystery is not terribly interesting, making the climax overly dramatic. As others have said, Chloe is not very likeable and her insistence on putting herself in dangerous situations is annoying. Writing, though competent, needs some tightening. And, please, editor, catch your author when she says "different than" instead of "different from"! I wanted this book to be better than it turned out to be and I'm hoping that others in the series, which I will look for, get stronger. less
