The necklace had once belonged to Madame Pompadour—mistress of the French King Louis XV.
Now it’s gone. Stolen by a clever conman. And it will take every ounce of determination and ingenuity a young woman possesses to recover it.
But can a mere girl from Calais outwit a practiced fraudster?
Dollycas’s Thoughts
This short story gives us a wonderful introduction to “Sophie” as she travels through the Chunnel from Calais to London to help recover The Pompadour Necklace, which isn’t an easy feat. Sophie is smart and tricky and with the assistance of friends, and “family” in the right places she knows she will be able to neutralize the thief and get the necklace back where it belongs.
I enjoyed following along with Sophie on her adventure. The author added some interesting twists that kept me very entertained.

In Sleepy Hollow, a Monet is in danger of being spirited away. . .
But undercover art sleuth Sophie Fisher—also known as Jeanne Sophie Poisson—
is on the trail of the brazen art thief.From a Hudson River Cruise to Cold Spring to a spooky lantern-light tour of Sleepy Hollow Cemetery, Sophie will do what it takes to capture the thief . . .
And prevent him from spiriting away a valuable work of art.
Dollycas’s Thoughts
We catch up with Sophie as her vacation plans change. Instead of spending time with her friend, Nicole in Paris, she is headed for Sleepy Hollow, New York, with her “Uncle Arthur” so he can “spend some time perfecting his artistic skills”. But it is the artist teaching the class he is interested in. Nigel Fairchild, a noted expert in Impressionist techniques, who has created several authentic copies of Impressionist art, is up to something, and Arthur needs Sophie’s help to determine which piece of art he is after and to protect it from the shifty artist.
Again, it was fun following along with Sophie and Arthur aka Detective Superintendent Ben Norrison on their adventure. They had a complicated plan to execute with the assistance of the FBI. Costumes are donned, a haunted hayride is taken, and a party with a surprise guest leads up to the reveal of a unique hiding place that puts Sophie in danger. The ending was quite unexpected and delightful leaving me excited for Sophie’s next adventure.
