Erica Ruth Neubauer: Intrigue in Istanbul
Intrigue in Istanbul is the fourth book in Erica Ruth Neubauer’s Jane Wunderly series, featuring an American war widow in the 1920s. Each book has a different setting: the first takes place in Egypt, the second at an English country manor, the third on a transatlantic voyage on the sister ship of the Titanic, and the fourth, obviously, in Istanbul. Neubauer makes great use of the setting in each of her books, and this is no exception. She takes the reader to Istanbul along with Jane, as her intrepid heroine searches for her missing father as well as a legendary relic. This is a tribute to Indiana Jones, but with some significant nods to Agatha Christie.
