Hi Everyone!
Stopping by today with another Double Feature Friday. Today I am bringing you the next two books in the Kitty Hawk Series. :) Happy Reading!

Kitty Hawk and The Tragedy of the R.M.S Titanic
Author: Iain Reading
Summary from Goodreads:
Kitty Hawk and the Tragedy of the RMS Titanic is the thrillingly cryptic
fourth installment of the exciting Kitty Hawk Flying Detective Agency
Series featuring the intrepid teenage seaplane pilot Kitty Hawk and her
various adventures of mystery and intrigue as she follows in the
footsteps of Amelia Earhart on an epic flight around the world.
This
fourth book in the series brings Kitty to the emerald hills of Ireland
where she meets a handsome stranger and is quickly swept up in a
perplexing hundred-year-old family treasure hunt involving secret codes
and puzzling clues that lead her on a fast-paced adventure that carries
her from Dublin to London - from the decks of the ill-fated ocean liner
Titanic to the temples of ancient Egypt and the streets of Jack the
Ripper - until she finally unlocks the mystery and discovers the
long-hidden treasure.
Much like the earlier books in this
series, Kitty Hawk and the Tragedy of the RMS Titanic is a perfect book
to fire the imaginations of armchair detectives of all ages. Filled
with fascinating and highly Google-able locations and history the reader
will find themselves immersed in brand new worlds that are brought to
life before their very eyes as Kitty Hawk experiences the stories and
history of a doomed ocean liner and unravels the Tragedy of the RMS
Titanic.
Personal Review:
This is probably my favorite of Iain's books so far. I really enjoyed read this story and liked the adventure that Kitty had gotten herself into this time. She continues to have a strong desire to know and a natural curiosity that I find to be very enduring.
The plot of this book brings to life a world that is unknown, but in discovery yields so much. Thank you for the opportunity to review this book!

Kitty Hawk and the Mystery of the Masterpieces
Author: Iain Reading
Summary from Goodreads:
Kitty Hawk and the Mystery of the Masterpieces is the eagerly
anticipated fifth instalment of the Kitty Hawk Flying Detective Agency
book series. This series features the intrepid teenage seaplane pilot
and amateur detective Kitty Hawk as she continues in the footsteps of
Nancy Drew and Amelia Earhart on her epic flight around the world.
After
meeting up with an old friend in the eternal city of Rome, Kitty Hawk
unexpectedly stumbles (almost literally) into a bizarre mystery
involving creepy disembodied voices, secret hidden rooms, unbreakable
mathematical codes, ominous chain-smoking strangers and an array of
plundered artworks by such famous masters as Claude Monet, Camille
Pissarro and Vincent van Gogh - all of it wrapped up and entwined in an
enigmatic riddle hanging in plain sight right in front of everyone's
noses.
With the help of friends both old and new, Kitty Hawk
follows a trail of cryptic clues that leads her on a breathless tour
across a quintessentially European landscape - from ancient Roman Italy
to the darkest corners of Germany, Austria and beyond.
As with
the previous books in the series, this new installment is perfect for
firing the imaginations of readers of all ages. Filled with fascinating
and highly Google-able locations and history, this exhilarating
adventure will have armchair explorers and amateur detectives alike
anxiously following every twist and turn as they attempt to help Kitty
Hawk try and solve the extraordinarily bizarre Mystery of the
Masterpieces.
Personal Review:
In this book, Kitty is back in Europe (Rome) to meet up with a person from her earlier adventures. The book is descriptive in both what is happening around them in this adventure, but also in the setting. I really appreciate the authors attention to the details and it really paints a vivid picture for the reader.
I know I have mentioned it before, but these books really bring to life a strong female character and I really appreciate that they do that. They are interesting reads and well worth the time! Thank you for the opportunity to read these books.
Disclaimer: I was awarded these books from the publisher. Though I did not pay for the book, the opinions are strictly my own.
Happy Reading!
