Sinossi

In "The Phantom Treasure," Harriet Pyne Grove crafts an enthralling narrative that deftly intertwines elements of mystery, adventure, and historical fiction. Set against the backdrop of a crumbling estate in the English countryside, the novel follows a group of young treasure hunters as they unravel clues that lead to a long-buried family secret. Grove employs a rich, descriptive prose style that evokes a hauntingly atmospheric landscape, drawing readers into the intricate tapestry of familial bonds and the weight of history. The novel's exploration of themes such as loss, loyalty, and the passage of time resonates with the echoes of Victorian literature while remaining vibrant and accessible to contemporary audiences. Harriet Pyne Grove, an author known for her passion for history and storytelling, draws inspiration from her own experiences of exploring her ancestors' estates as a child. Grove'Äôs academic background in literature and history informs her narrative, as she meticulously intertwines fact with fiction, resulting in a poignant reflection on how legacies shape identities. Her previous works reveal a recurring interest in the past and its influence on present-day relationships, making "The Phantom Treasure" a compelling addition to her oeuvre. I highly recommend "The Phantom Treasure" to readers who enjoy a multifaceted adventure that challenges the boundaries between myth and reality. Grove'Äôs skillful character development invites readers to engage with the protagonists emotionally, while the suspenseful plot keeps them on the edge of their seats. This novel promises not only to entertain but to inspire a deeper contemplation of one'Äôs own heritage and the mysteries that lie within.

    I just wanted a place where we could get away from it all. But coming here was one of the worst mistakes of my life . . . 
     
     
     
    After the year Aidan and I have had, we needed some respite. My husband is overworked, whilst I'm anxious about the past, so renting a night at this converted barn house in the countryside seems like the perfect place for the pair of us to relax and unwind. It might be situated at the bottom of a large garden, but it's private enough that we don't have to mingle with the homeowners who live nearby. Or at least that's what I thought . . . 
     
     
     
    No sooner have we checked in for our peaceful stay, Aidan and I are invited to share a drink with the owners, Bridgette and Logan, in their opulent home. I want to politely refuse. After all, we came here to get away from people. But Aidan accepts the invitation and that's when things start spiraling out of control. That's when I realize that this is not going to be the perfect escape after all . . .

    Christmas lights on palm trees and Santa hats on plastic pink flamingoes are far from the snowy landscape Maureen and her beloved golden retriever, Finn, are used to. But Maureen is determined to make this a holiday to remember—which means finding a way to promote Haven House on a shoestring. Fortunately, Haven's vintage movie theater, the Paramount, has come up with a great "Twelve Days of Christmas" idea. They'll feature an impressive list of the best classic Christmas movies ever made—shown by one-time movie actor-turned-projectionist Decklin Monroe . . . 
     
     
      
    But nobody bothered to tell Maureen that the Paramount is haunted by the ghost of a man who was murdered a few years back. Haven's top cop Frank Hubbard doesn't believe in ghosts but, believing that Decklin Monroe was somehow involved, he wants a reluctant Maureen's help. 
     
     
      
    That plan is derailed when, on the first day of the festival, a fresh murder victim is found at the theater. Now Maureen has to defend her staff and guests, while trying to keep her high-spirited resident ghosts out of the picture—before they have company for the holidays . . .

    Jack Ryan meets Wind River in this pulse-pounding 1970s international mystery set against the rugged Wyoming mountains, from USA Today bestselling author Pamela Fagan Hutchins. 
    When a stranger who isn’t who he claims to be befriends adventurous young doctor Patrick Flint and his teenage son during a wilderness expedition with movers and shakers from across the globe, the duo suddenly becomes the target of a ruthless gang of killers. To survive, Patrick and his son must unravel the mystery man’s true identity—before the assassins strike and their lives are ended. 
    "Leaving the dead ranch hand on the living room floor, Patrick Flint sucked in a shallow breath and wrenched the doorknob in the kitchen, pulling outwards to expose a deep pantry. A bare bulb with a pull string hung from the ceiling, illuminating cans of food and bags of rice, beans, sugar, and flour on the shelves, and a long-legged man with a boot missing from one foot slumped against the base of the wall. He held one hand on his bleeding head, hair color indeterminate. The other pressed into his round, oozing gut. Patrick drew in a sharp breath. This bunkhouse was a bloodbath. What in Hell's half acre had he stumbled into?" 
    Stag Party is the sixth installment in the Patrick Flint series of thrilling mysteries, a spin-off from the What Doesn’t Kill You super series. Available in digital, print, and audiobook. 
    If you love C.J. Box or Craig Johnson, you’ll devour Pamela Fagan Hutchins’ Patrick Flint adventures. A former attorney, Pamela lives off-the-grid at a lodge on Wyoming’s Bighorn Mountains, where she shares her wild lifestyle with her husband, rescue dogs, cats, and enormous horses—bringing the landscapes and high-stakes action in her novels to vivid life.
