"Tavia Gilbert skillfully narrates this dark tale featuring two sisters in long-ago Poland, based on an 1862 poem by Christina Rossetti. ... Gilbert conveys Minka's illness by infusing her kind voice with a dreamlike detachment and portrays Lizzie with a lack of emotion. As the story progresses, Lizzie becomes more assertive but maintains her innate matter-of-fact tone. Gilbert also reflects Emil's mercurial temperament, speaking in enticing tones to Minka and to Lizzie with dismissiveness, disdain, and, finally, deadly menace. Haunting music during tense moments adds suspense." AudioFile Magazine

Starred Review Julieta’s parents work in the world of art museums, and she is eager to accompany her father to Paris’ Louvre as he arranges the loan of art pieces for an exhibition in Boston. When the famed Regent Diamond is stolen, Julieta is in the middle of a high stakes mystery. With a bilingual family and international travel, the full cast portrays a range of accents, as well as phrases in Spanish and French, with panache. ... Underpinning the mystery are facts about Paris,
art history, mythology, and culture. In other works, nonfiction asides can be dry, but here they are seamlessly woven into the plot and Julieta’s excitement for new knowledge is contagious to the listener. BOOKLIST
