An archaeologist’s estranged daughters.
1907: The dawn of Egyptology is a time of imperialism and plunder, opulence and unrest, and Dr. Warren Ford, esteemed archaeologist, is the man of the hour. His daughters—intellectual Lila, on the eve of her debut as a Manhattan socialite, and nonconformist Tess, who dreams of following in his footsteps—have always lived in his shadow, and their lives couldn’t feel more different. But when a secretive organization seeks to find a lost relic legendary for its dangerous power, it isn’t Dr. Ford they turn to—it’s his two remarkable daughters.
A legendary artifact known as the Serpent’s Crown.
Rumored to reside in the mysterious Tomb of the Five Ladies, the Serpent’s Crown will only be found by solving a seemingly impossible riddle that will open the tomb—and the organization believes that one of the Ford daughters holds the key to deciphering the code. What was supposed to be an elegant debutante ball for elder sister Lila quickly turns sinister when Tess is kidnapped and put on a ship across the Atlantic. When Lila and her father realize that Tess’s life is in danger, they must act quickly to track her down and stop the Serpent’s Crown from falling into the wrong hands.
A puzzle three millennia in the making.
A race for the Crown begins, with Lila and her father in hot pursuit of the organization and Tess. With lives at stake, the fractured family must keep their wits about them, find the artifact, and escape the ruthless men who are also determined to possess the Crown and use it to their own advantage—no matter the cost.
In this women-centered nod to the beloved Indiana Jones stories, The Antiquity Affair is a high-stakes trans-Atlantic thrill ride, with the excitement and romance of classic adventure novels and a poignant story of sisterhood at its core.

It was just okay.

This book had everything about exciting adventures throughout. I was personally intrigued by the way Lee Kelly and Jennifer Thorne, in a subtle way, brought the attention of prejudices as they existed at that time in history. Unfortunately, some still exist today.
I would hope to see a movie made about this book. Then, I could visibly see the book in action. I would also enjoy seeing all of the interesting countries Leila and Tess experienced.
I truly enjoyed this book and look forward to reading more of Lee Kelly and Jennifer Thorne's collaboration.

The Antiquity Affair - Outstanding

The one thing I disagree with is this being categorized as a YA novel. Though the characters are young, they are young ADULTS.
It's an adventure worth listening to on your next long road trip or flight!
