A slow burning suspense novel with the mystery of Blackbeard and his treasure, this kept my attention and made me want to keep reading. It should certainly create lots of discussion at my IRL book club! Seemingly accidental deaths in a small town connected by an object found on the victim, the local historian and the police chief look for answers and turn up lots of secrets. I‘d read more by the author!

I'm glad to have read this novel as I did enjoy the storyline. I liked how the author has paced the story and not going overboard especially for the romance part. It was a straightforward one that does not confuse at all even though this was her first novel. It has a little excerpt at the end of each chapter, from a ''Journal of an unknown woman, early 1700s", that adds on more to the mystery. My rating ⭐️⭐️⭐️ ??

SusanLee With the added mystery of the deaths and the exciting plot towards the end, overall, it was and enjoyable read! If you are looking for a refreshing new author with crime and mystery plot then this is definitely one you can give a go at. Thanks to BookSirens and Beaufort Books for this e-ARC in return for my honest review. 1y
