This is a really great young adult story. It is a historical fiction story which includes loads of elements such as mystery, Suspense, murder and danger. The author does an amazing job of mixing fiction with historical reference especially with regards to Nikola Tesla’s secret labs and the experiments that were conducted. I love the main character Cora Croft. She is a very determined young woman who isn’t going to settle for a life of marriage as is normal for that time period. She is determined to make something of herself so when this mystery happens she will stop at nothing to solve it. What she doesn’t realise is how dangerous trying to unravel these secrets can be and how much danger she places herself and her friends Harrison and Marshall in.
This mystery will keep the reader hooked from beginning to end and the history references make this a really unique story.

This is the best book I have read by this author. It does NOT disappoint in any way! I absolutely love how the author centers it around Nikola Tesla and his research, and the historical importance of his competition with Thomas Edison. It adds a bit of tension to the mystery! It starts out hot, and immediately you dive into trying to find out who stole Tesla’s missing papers, research, documents. Very fast paced book, which I love in a mystery. This is definitely in my top 5 of historical fiction books. While I did guess who the culprit was before it was revealed, it was still not a solid guess. But it did not deter me in any way from continuing reading the book.

Murder in the Lightning Room is an interesting YA murder mystery set in the past. The story line is set in 1899 and is well-developed and the world-building is done well. The characters are interesting and the mystery of the tale drew me in.
This intriguing fast-paced tale is full of mystery and secrets, danger and murder, suspense and gripping tension along with a dash of romance.
I enjoyed the historical information and the research AD based on Nikola Tesla the engineer and physicist and his work.
Cora is steadfast and headstrong and loves mysteries and solving puzzles so it’s a no brainer for her and friends when Tesla has problems. But she needs to beware in her search for answers!
A good read for YA fans of historical fiction and murder mystery.

Cora is on an adventure assisting Tesla. What an intriguing mystery. There is plenty of mystery, adventure and knowledge in this book. It was a fun read. It’s also fairly quick to finish. The plot runs very smooth. It’s well-thought out and you’ll fall in love with the characters. Cora is my favorite. I hope there will be more adventures with Cora.

I enjoyed reading this young adult story. This is not my first book by this author but it is one of my favorites so far. This is a mystery that takes place in a secret lab. Cora finds herself in the middle of a mystery that could mean danger for her or even her life. This is a well written story that is full of mystery, secrets and a race against time to solve the mystery. Cora is a great character that I enjoyed. She is a strong, supportive character that made the story for me. I enjoyed how the author’s use of details made me feel as if I was part of the story. I also enjoyed the growth of the characters as well as the plot. This is a fast paced story that is hard to put down. An engaging story that I really enjoyed reading. You don’t want to miss what happens to Cora. I highly recommend this book.

This book was really good! It kept me entertained and I love how the author wraps the mystery around Nikola Tesla and his research, making connections with the competition with Edison. It helps drive in the setting and adds tension to the mystery, as well. The characters seemed lifelike and nothing seemed over-the-top in terms of appropriate behavior for the time. I had an inkling of who the culprit was part way through but did not have all of the pieces put together before it was revealed. I really enjoyed how all of the pieces fell into place.

This isn’t the first book I’ve read by this author, but it is the best. Immediately, the reader is pulled into the story, as the lead protagonist goes to find the culprit behind Tesla’s missing documents. An incredibly fast-paced book that you won’t be able to put down. Anyone who knows me knows I love history, and I love fiction books. I’ve read plenty of historical fiction, but I think this is probably my new favorite. I hope to see more books like this from this author, and they’ll be added to my collection in a heartbeat.

Cora Croft is finishing up her last year of high school at Palmer High School in Colorado Springs. Cora is a young lady interested in pursuing higher education, something that most women do not consider in the year 1899. When her teacher mentions an opportunity for Cora to become Nikola Tesla’s lab assistant Cora is determined to seize the opportunity. Before long, Cora finds herself wrapped up deeply in a mystery as Nikola Tesla’s previous lab assistant has mysteriously ended up dead and important documents containing Nikola Tesla’s top-secret designs have been stolen. Tesla is at his wits end over the theft of his documents and is determined to pack up his lab and move back to New York. However, Cora not wanting to miss the unique experience to work with such a brilliant man offers to help Mr. Tesla figure out who is behind the theft.
Cora reluctantly enlists help from Harrison Byrne, a man whom she despises no matter how charming he seems to be on the surface. She also asks her friend Marshall, a man with whom she has known for years and trusts with her life. As the trio starts to investigate farther into the sudden and mysterious death of Tesla’s previous lab assistant and the top- secret documents they start to uncover something that is far more sinister than they could have imagined. When there is another death, Cora, Harrison, and Marshall quickly realize that their own lives may also be at risk.
I loved the character of Cora and found her to be inspirational. Cora was smart, feisty, and wise beyond her years. No matter who or what tried to stand in her way Cora was determined to battle against the social constraints of the time to pursue her dreams. Harrison seemed a bit arrogant initially as he liked to tease Cora and seemingly mock her, something that really irked Cora and made her despise him. Eventually, as I read farther, I learned there was more to Harrison’s character than I had thought at first. I soon realized that although he may appear almost condescending at times in his tone as he spoke to Cora, deep-down Harrison had a big heart and deeply cared about those around him, especially Cora. This book contained several twists and turns throughout with a surprise at the end that really caught me off guard. I highly recommend this book!

I was so involved in this addictive murder mystery! I was hooked with the fine details and the characters that the book held! The book had a lot of intrigue and suspense! It was very well written!
Loved how this book literally transported me though time to where the story took place. Cora was a wonderful lead character with her own wit and a very sharp as well as keen mind. She was not a force to be reckoned with. I loved how every step that was taken to the mystery, didn’t really lead to much answers, but more questions and wonder! The book was very much a fun read, and had that allure that you can not escape from! Loved every moment I spent entwined in this wonderful mystery! Loved it!
Wonderful read by a wonderful author! They never disappoint me with anything that they write and create! Very highly recommend from this reader here, and its for sure at thrilling must read!
