Intriguing title. Makes you want to get into the book.
If you are in to the subject matter you will for sure enjoy this book. It was a fast read, kept me interested. Will look forward to future books by Paula Brackston.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

A good lead.
Interesting plots. Seems like a knock off from ‘The Librarian.’ Writing too much rehash and repetition of worries and fears. Ended with opening for a third book in the series. I might purchase if not too pricy. All told, a good writer with need of a better editor to avoid over dependence on breast beating.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
