Max and Evie's story is cute and fluffy. I enjoy Marianne Stillings writing very much for the fluffiness, though she tends to lean heavily on puns as a form of communication. Fast but cute read!
Good book. I figured the main mysteries out quite a while before the end. But, knowing the ending did not take away from getting there. I still enjoyed reading the book in its entirety.
School teacher, Evie Randall, and detective, Max Galloway, are part of a group on a treasure hunt to inherit the estate of famous author, Thomas Heyworth, as well as to learn who his murderer was, if they can find all of the clues within the next two weeks.
I enjoyed this book's island setting off the coast of Washington state, as well as the humorous dialogue and chemistry between Evie and Max.
I really liked this one... it all blended very well... the banter between the h/h was great. I liked the mystery as well. All in all I thought it was a great one. I will need to find the others in this series. Already read 1 and 5.
I was expecting to read a story about an investigation of a murder with a love story as a secondary plot but instead it is a romance without much plot to it (at least for the first half of the book where I decided to stop reading). The characters are behaving like silly and lovestruck teenagers and their interactions are behind awkward and unbelievable. The dialogues are horrible and I wasn't able to read any more of it.
Como todo libro que contiene misterios e investigación,es un libro que me llamó la atención por su sinopsis. Desde el comienzo, la intriga de un testamento algo peculiar de un autor famoso el cual deja su fortuna a aquel que encuentre todas las pistas y llegue al final de la búsqueda del tesoro que planificó, pasa de súbito a ser la búsqueda de dichas pistas contra reloj para hallar a su asesino.
Con una escritura ágil, la autora me transportó junto con sus personajes a la búsqueda del tesoro bastante personalizada puedo decir y por qué no, del amor también. Me hubiese gustado que se enfocara un poco más en las pistas, aunque siendo sincera, era algo más de pensamiento que de otra cosa; igualmente, los protagonistas tuvieron su cuota de aventura al tener al asesino al acecho, en busca de nuevas víctimas y así no ser descubierto.
Es un libro ligero con giros y un poco de misterio y romance que hacen que se pueda terminar de una sentada.
