Riveting and spellbinding.  The Rose Code has a touch of some of my favorite story elements…strong women, beautiful friendships, intrigue, and a touch of romance.  Quinn has a gift for weaving her depth of research into the quintessentially perfect historical fiction novel, and she’s at her best with The Rose Code. The applause this novel has received is more than deserved, and given how phenomenally it is crafted, no review can do this novel justice.  Don’t overlook the hype on this gem.
