Praise for Mira's Way: "Mira's Way takes you on a breathless journey through Spain and France, in the company of two determined women, separated by five centuries. A brilliant read."--Deborah Swift, author of The Poison Keeper "Mira's Way, though one of a series, is a stand-alone story that grips from start to finish. Amy Maroney has a gift of making the past come to life in a way that is relatable and engaging. Her characters are convincing, her stories are about the art world and painting, and she paints her own portrait with delicate words and visual imagery."--Historical Novel Society "Maroney has presented her readers with a book that is not only meticulously researched and exquisitely hewn, but also one that is compulsively readable and next to impossible to put down. A true gem."--The Coffee Pot Book Club "A gripping historical novel populated with mesmerizing characters. A FINALIST and highly recommended."--The 2018 Wishing Shelf Book Awards KEYWORDS Art mystery, historical thriller, European history, French history, Spanish history, Pyrenees, female sleuth, romantic suspense
