About
the Book
In
1888 Victorian England, Ami Dalton navigates a clandestine dual life.
By day, she strives to establish herself as a respected Egyptologist,
overcoming the gender biases that permeate academia. But with a heart
for rescuing black-market artifacts, she is most often disguised as
her alter ego, the Shadow Broker. After eight years in India,
Oxford's most eligible bachelor, Edmund Price, has come out of the
shadows to run for Parliament and is in search of an Egyptologist to
value a newly acquired collection. Expecting a renowned Oxford
professor, Edmund instead finds himself entangled with Ami, the
professor's determined daughter. As they delve into the treasures,
their connection deepens, but trouble emerges when a golden
griffin--rumored to bear the curse of Amentuk--surfaces and they're
left to wonder if the curse really is at play, or if something more
nefarious is hiding among the shadows.

My
Review 4 STARS
Griep
is well known for her mysterious gothic style stories. I enjoyed Ami
and Edmund in Of Gold and Shadows. Their exploits and mutual
attraction are enough to keep avid
readers involved in the story. History lovers will appreciate the
abundance of Egyptian history and the artifacts. As always, mystery
and intrigue and romance are woven together to create a delightfully
entertaining tale.
Side
note: Sarah Zimmerman narrates the audio book. She does an excellent
job!!
