The Museum of Mysteries

This will be short and sweet :)

I got The Museum of Mysteries off of Chirp Audiobooks for cheap. It's co-written by Steve Berry and MJ Rose. I've ready Steve Berry, never heard of MJ Rose. So essentially, I got it for Steve.

It was a super short audio book, about 3 hours, and I kept waiting to hear Berry's POV somewhere. In short, not a fan of this one. Based on other reviews, it sounds like I'm not the only one thinking this was short on Steve.

Here's the GoodReads synopsis:

Cassiopeia Vitt takes center stage in this exciting novella from New York Times bestsellers M.J. Rose and Steve Berry.

In the French mountain village of Eze, Cassiopeia visits an old friend who owns and operates the fabled Museum of Mysteries, a secretive place of the odd and arcane. When a robbery occurs at the museum, Cassiopeia gives chase to the thief and is plunged into a firestorm.

Through a mix of modern day intrigue and ancient alchemy, Cassiopeia is propelled back and forth through time, the inexplicable journeys leading her into a hotly contested French presidential election. Both candidates harbor secrets they would prefer to keep quiet, but an ancient potion could make that impossible. With intrigue that begins in southern France and ends in a chase across the streets of Paris, this magical, fast-paced, hold-your-breath thriller is all you’ve come to expect from M.J. Rose and Steve Berry.
