Reviews
A hugely enjoyable novel with an intriguing, page-turning plot * Guardian *
A romantic and acutely observed historical mystery * Metro *
I defy anybody to be disappointed in a book by Elizabeth Wein. She's both a subtle and an expansive writer and she draws you in with great skill ... The Pearl Thief is a pleasure to read, it really is * Bookbag *
A highly charged, atmospheric novel with a masterful heroine and plenty of intrigue and mystery * Parents in Touch *
I just finished The Pearl Thief, by Elizabeth Wein. Felt like both a warm bath on a cold night, and camping in spooky woods. A total treat -- Melinda Salisbury
