The most famous necklace in the world has finally been found…
Bryher Finch’s life isn’t just a disaster, it’s a catastrophe, until a chance invitation to chart her family tree changes everything. As Bryher uncovers the ancestry she never knew about, she stumbles on the find of the century – Anne Boleyn’s ‘B’ necklace, as enigmatic as Henry VIII’s most notorious Queen herself.
But Bryher isn’t the only one who wants the necklace…
📖My Review..
The lasting portrait we have of the ill-fated Tudor Queen Anne Boleyn features an enigmatic young woman wearing her trademark “B” necklace. This necklace is almost as iconic as the woman herself so to have a modern day mystery based around the whereabouts of this necklace adds an interesting dimension especially when it’s combined with the Tudor period and Anne Boleyn’s relationship with her older sister, Mary, together with Anne’s drive and ambition as she sets out on her path to destiny.
The Queen’s Necklace is an interesting dual time mystery which shows the differences, and some similarities, between characters who have been separated by time. I thought that both time frames were well written, although, for me, the Tudor sections had the edge as this is my favourite period in history and I rather enjoy stories about Anne Boleyn. However, I did enjoy the modern day mystery with Bryher Finch, she’s an interesting character, not always likeable and filled with all sorts of celebrity angst but that added to the overall appeal of the story.
