Hi all,
Pieces of Hate is
the fourth book in the Wendover House Mystery Series by Melanie Jackson. I have
to admit – I'm hooked on this series. They are fun mystery/suspense books with
a few ghosts lurking about. And although the stories are not lengthy, they are
lush with interesting characters and unique story lines. Melanie Jackson is a
very busy writer who publishes several books a year in several different
series. This is great for those of us who enjoy her beautiful writing style and
interesting stories. Here is the book description and my 5 star review.
Pieces of Hate
Melanie Jackson
Book Description:
'Never before did I believe that
the dead would truly ryse up in judgment if not layd to rest in consecrated
ground. But I have seen with myne own eyes, those drowned faces and barnacled
bones walking out of the surf.' So wrote Nicholas Wendover (aka Halfbeard, the
pirate). But the troubled ghosts did rise every decade and come looking for
their stolen treasure, the specially minted coins created by an Aztecan wizard
called Pieces of Hate. Unfortunately, Nicholas Wendover was no longer alive and
able to reveal where the stolen treasure might have been hidden. It was left to
Tess McKay to discover the last of the missing coins before Little Goose Island
was overrun with vengeful ghosts.
My 5 Star Review:
A creepy, barnacle-encrusted chest
washes up on the island and Tess McKay has to figure out what it is and why it
has appeared. Stories of pirates, cursed gold coins and mass murder ensue as
Tess digs up more information about her notorious family background at Wendover
House.
This fourth book in the Wendover
House Mystery Series by Melanie Jackson will not disappoint fans of this
series. Ms Jackson is an expert at writing these mystery/suspense novels with
rich, full stories that entertain and delight. She has a lovely writing style
that enhances the stories greatly – it's so lyrical, descriptive yet
intriguing. I recommend this book and the entire series to anyone who enjoys a
beautifully written, entertaining, fun set of mystery books.
I hope you will all check out these and other novels by Melanie Jackson.
Cheers,
Deanna
