4.0

I loved learning more about the San Francisco earthquake in 1906 and the fire in the aftermath.  This story had just the right amount of intrigue and foreshadowing along with well developed characters.

It will be hard to beat this book as my favorite for 2024 and I'm only 4 days into the year. A mash up of historical fiction, suspense, and mystery, it's a beautiful story of love and resilience!
