The Altar Girl: A Prequel | Orest Stelmach
3 posts | 2 read | 5 to read
The daughter of uncompromising Ukrainian immigrants, Nadia was raised to respect guts, grit, and tradition. When the events around the seemingly accidental death of her estranged godfather don't add up, Nadia is determined to discover the truth—even if she attracts the attention of dangerous men intent on finding out what she knows through any means possible. Her investigation leads her to her hometown and to the people least likely to welcome her back: her family. In this thrilling prequel to the Nadia Tesla series, Nadia must try to solve the mystery surrounding her godfather's death—and his life. The answers to her questions are buried with the secrets of her youth and in post–World War II refugee camps. What Nadia learns will change her life forever.

This one started off slow & confusing for me, but got better as it went. I got it free as an Amazon First pick. It had some interesting history about displaced persons after WWII, and about Ukrainian immigrant culture. It‘s a prequel to a series, so now I‘m interested in reading the series, as I liked the main character, and I want to know how she gets entangled in further mysteries. Solid thriller read.

I‘m digging into my TBR to fulfill some reading challenge prompts this month. I‘ve had this one on my Kindle app for awhile. It‘s good so far, moving quickly. It‘s set in the Ukrainian immigrant community of New York & Connecticut, which I know nothing about, so that‘s interesting to read about. Here I‘ve been looking for a book set in Connecticut, and it turns out I had one on my TBR pile already. 🙄 #MountTBR #usareadingroadtrip #Connecticut
