Thank you so much Sourcebooks Landmark and NetGalley for this wonderful ebook copy!

Her Hidden Genius by Marie Benedict was such a wonderfully written story!
I absolutely devoured The Mystery Of Mrs. Christie so when I seen this novel I had to get my little hands on it!

Marie Benedict is the one the best historical novelists out there and this book was incredible!
Rosalind Franklin's character was amazing, brave, inspiring, incredible. I love her character here in this novel!
There is a alot of scientific talk here. Which sometimes flew over my head, but nonetheless this story was still an amazing one.
I felt this book to be engrossing and enchanting.
I've got praise Marie Benedict for highlighting an extraordinary woman with a powerfully-written story.

Again thank you for the opportunity to read this amazing story!

Thank you to NetGalley for this ARC. Dr. Rosalind Franklin was at the top of her field, finding the answers surrounding DNA. She was working with world renowned scientists, all working in a race to discover if DNA is really a Helix structure. She finds her answer but does not want to let it be known until she could successfully prove the theory over and over. In the meantime, men are trying to steal her information and data and claim it as their own. Rosalind is in a race for time and validation. I was so excited when I was granted a copy of this book because I think Marie Benedict is an amazing author - Lady Clementine, The Other Woman in the Room and The Personal Librarian but this book is so chalked full of scientific data, it takes a lot to weed through. I can appreciate the amount of research it took to write this novel but I found myself skimming a lot of the scientific data written in each chapter because I could not comprehend it. However, I can appreciate her highlighting the life of a very important woman! You might consider reading it if you are a Marie Benedict fan but it is not an easy read. #HerHiddenGenius #MarieBenedict #Jan2022 #SourceBooksLandmark
