The Master Craftsman by Kelli Stuart

This was a fascinating book with lots of history, intrigue and takes place in a dual-time style book.  It is modern time and as well as the time of the Bolshevik Revolution.    Ava travels to Russia for a treasure hunt masterminded by her estranged father, a man who is in quickly declining health.  We learn of the Faberge eggs and the mystery that surrounds them and the Faberge goldsmithing family.  

Ava travels with her mother and others that add to the interest that this story brings out.  The historical writings in this book appear so well researched and the author's knowledge of the culture and people are clearly portrayed here.  I loved the search for the missing Faberge egg and the adventure that they experience.  The Dual time was well done.  All in all, a very well written historical!

I received a complimentary copy of this book from Revell Publishing.  All thoughts are my own.
