This is a fantastic mystery, with a female heroine. I have to say that I have read no other of the Jorja Knight books before this one and this one definitely stands on its own. BUT I loved it so much that I will definitely be going back to read the other ones. Jorja Knight is a wonderful heroine who uses her PI skills to solve mysteries. This book was full of twists and turns and even contained a twist of a possible curse. I was definitely guessing until the very end. I highly recommend it!

Knight In the Museum is the fifth book in the Jorja Knight Mystery series by Alice Bienia. I was unaware going into this suspenseful read that it was the fifth book in the series. But luckily it is able to be read as a standalone without feeling like I was ‘missing’ anything by not having read the previous books. Having said that though, this book has definitely left me wanting- wanting more of Ms. Bienia’s books that is. I was drawn to the book by the intriguing title and interesting cover- plus I love a thrilling mystery- so I happily one-clicked a copy and started the adventure. I was immediately pulled into the story and spent the rest of the afternoon glued to the pages, reading avidly, and devouring the entire book in one sitting just so I could discover how everything played out in the end. This may have been my first read from Ms. Bienia, but after this engrossing mystery, it definitely won’t be the last. This has whet my appetite for more of Ms. Bienia’s work, and more of Jorja Knight’s adventures, so I will definitely be going back to read the rest of the series- I am halfway through Book #1 already. Jorja Knight is a Private Investigator who is asked to look into the suspicious death of a friend-of-a-friend. What was supposed to be an accidental drowning leads Jorja to more bodies, and an ever-mounting web of intrigue. Add in an ancient, cursed relic into the mix and the case takes an even stranger turn. The puzzling nature of this latest investigation means Jorja will be tested like never before. With the body-count mounting, and danger circling- it is apparent that sinister forces will do anything and everything to prevent her from finding out the truth. Putting a rather large target on her back. Not everything is as it seems. And Jorja begins to suspect that the fallout could hit closer to home than she ever could have suspected going into the case. What ensues makes for an exciting read. I love it when I discover an author who can completely capture my attention with their stories- pulling me into their world so completely that I lose all sense of time and place. This book did that for me. Ms. Bienia has cleverly crafted a tightly woven crime and investigation story- a whodunit mystery with a cursed relic, murder, a determined PI, sinister foes, agendas, action, intensity, danger, puzzling developments, twists, adventure, humour, banter, tension, and drama- as well as a lot of interesting and well-developed characters. Looking forward to reading the rest of the series! Happy Reading…

This book will keep you on the edge of your seat, it’s enthralling and I did not want to put it down (even if I was super tired).
Jorja Knight is a PI and the case that just got put in her lap has her traveling to Colombia. Naturally, there are surprises waiting for her around the corner.

Talk about coming in from the back of the pack, that’s exactly what I have done with this series. I wasn’t aware that this was the fifth book in the series. I am going back to the beginning though because I really enjoyed this one.
There is a bit of humour and a few twists in this intriguing murder mystery and let’s not forget thriller. Where our tough, no nonsense and straight shooter PI Jorja Knight is set on solving the mystery but there is more going on than meets the eye and that something is murder, although it may not be that simple. Is it a dangerous hidden plot or something otherworldly like a curse?
If you like thrilling murder mysteries, then Alice’s Knight in the Museum is just one of the books in this series that should satisfy your thirst.

I loved this book with a passion! I could not get enough! There was so much intrigue, characters with great development, and of course a plot that sucked you in completely!
I am a sucker for mysteries, but throw in an potentially cursed item…you truly have me hooked! The book took off at a great build. I enjoyed how nothing was rushed, but yet was not too slow! I loved how Jorja had to really use her skill…deaths and more deaths. How were they connected? How can she make sense of it all? As the story went on, I was wanting more. The more I read, the more entertainment and intrigue I got. Loved it! I will definitely read more by this author-definitely hooked upon first read or should I say artifact?
Great author! Great read! And exceptional writing! I could not get enough, I was hooked all the way through, I very much enjoyed this book. And for sure, I highly recommend this book and author!

Fabulous story. Jorja is a strong woman PI that takes on a case to look into the death of a father. It involves a cursed object. I loved the adventure and the drama. Jorja ends up with her hands full. I found the writing delightful and full of detail. The story was entertaining and easy to read. The characters were spicy and full of drama, which made for a very exciting story. A definite must read for mystery lovers.

An ancient, cursed statue. Suspicious deaths. A PI determined to find out why someone is willing to kill to hide the truth.
PI Jorja Knight knows firsthand what it’s like to be tormented by lingering questions after the death of a loved one. When the daughter of a former police officer asks Jorja to look into her father’s death, deemed an accident, Jorja is determined to find her the answers she’s looking for. As Jorja digs into the case, she discovers another suspicious death and links to a cursed, missing pre-Columbian artifact.
With rising doubts about the way police handled the men’s deaths, Jorja puts her own relationship with the head of Special Crimes on the line as she reconstructs the dead men’s last movements. But she isn’t the only one bird-dogging their footsteps. As her investigation heats up, Jorja is drawn deep into the heart of Alberta’s badlands. What she finds turns the investigation on its head and throws her into the path of a brazen killer.
