The Little Shop of Found Things by Paula BrackstonMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Many people, while wandering through antique shops, wonder about the use of certain objects and the lives of the people that owned them before. Xanthe Westlake can actually hear certain object's pasts when they "sing" to her. While browsing a nearby auction for new items to sell in their antique shop, one antique calls so strongly to Xanthe that she has to buy it. This silver chatelaine has the frightening ability to send her back in time. To save what she loves in her own time, she has to solve a centuries old mystery and rescue a young girl from an unjust death sentence.
I love the description of this book and I was so excited to get a chance to read it. The details of the architecture, decorations, and clothing of the 17th century were wonderful and brought the story to life. The way the book ended makes me hopeful for a possible sequel or series. Thanks so much to Paula Brackston, St. Martin's Press, and NetGalley for the opportunity to review this book.
