Synopsis
Rose Hawthorne is a celebrity author in her early seventies, who dislikes the spotlight but has a penchant for Hermes scarfs, round violet sunglasses, and old colonial hotels.
One day, she receives a strange letter asking her to visit Newgrange,
Ireland and look for something that has been hidden there for a thousand
years.
She asks her granddaughter to accompany her, but she hadn’t expected
Samantha to continually be posting photos of their progress on her
Instagram account. An encounter with an old love and an unexpected
discovery leads Rose further and further into the past, and she finds must
make a hard decision about her future.
Review:
I received a copy of this book through Netgalley.com and I am voluntarily leaving an honest review. Free on Kindle Unlimited.
Not a huge fan of the cover of this book, I find it hard to read and it
doesn't say much about the book. But in the spirit of not judging a
book by its cover I dove in. I'm not usually a fan of cozy mysteries, I
like mine a bit darker but this was a good distraction and a fun romp
through some historic sites in Ireland.
Rose Hawthorne is traveling through Ireland with her grand-daughter who
keeps taking social media picks of her grand-mother to send to her mother
which Rose hates! After they stumble upon a mystical medallion Rose and
Sam turn to Rose's old love to help them uncover the secrets the Medallion
may hold.
A good bit of fun mystery but I kept wanting someone to be kidnapped or
die (I think I'm just not cut out for the cozy mystery). However this was a
well written story that kept my attention and kept me turning pages. I
don't know if I will pick up any more but I think this would make a great
beach read or even a great read for the YA set.
