With The Metropolitan Affair, Jocelyn Green captures you in a dazzling novel of secrets, betrayal, and romance set within one of New York City's most prestigious museums.



The explorer father of Dr. Lauren Westlake has promised her for years that she would accompany him on one of his Egyptian expeditions. In spite of the empty promises, Lauren determined to earn her own way. Lauren receives two unexpected invitations while working as the assistant curator of Egyptology at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.




The first is her repentant father's offer to bring her to Egypt as a colleague on a new expedition. Another opportunity is to gain access to the world of New York's wealthiest patrons who have been victims of art fraud.




As Egyptomania sweeps the city following the discovery of King Tut's tomb, Detective Joe Caravello is on the lookout for a notorious forger preying on the open wallets of New York's high society. Dr. Westlake is just the expert he needs to assist him in locating the criminal. The closer Lauren and Joe get to discovering the forger's identity, the more entangled they become in a web of deception and criminal activity.



I give The Metropolitan Affair five out of five stars!



Happy Reading!
