After encountering a brief power outage at work, college student Sara Donovan might be allowing her imagination to run wild. The main vault in the Carlton Museum holds the Fire and Ice Exhibit, a collection of rare gems, including the Star of Midnight, a 175-carat diamond. Although all the stones are accounted for, Sara suspects the Star of Midnight was stolen and replaced with a fake.
While conducting her own investigation, what Sara uncovers is beyond even her wildest imagination: a coded message, papers with strange characters, and a mysterious set of numbers carved into an office wall. Despite dismissive historians and other experts, she is certain these clues point to a mysterious centuries-old legend.
Unfortunately, her colorful history of usually being right, but always being wrong, means she must solve the mystery to prove her theory.

Why Should You Read This?
This book is a standalone sequel to ”Against My Better Judgement.” I haven’t read the previous book, however, that doesn’t impact the experience. An enjoyable cozy mystery. I did feel that the story is slow in some places. I love Sara Donovan’s character, and I appreciate her grittiness, and strength of her character.
The reader may have to research some parts – such as ciphering codes, mathematics jargon, etc. However, if you are interested in these topics, its fun to learn new things. It is a well researched book, and a lovely cozy mystery to read.
I am looking forward to reading this book!
Here’s to a sensational September!
