Series: Book Retreat Mysteries #4
Not one aspect of this book captured my attention. The story began flat and stayed that way throughout which was disappointing since I have enjoyed this series from the beginning.
As Jane Steward, Guardian of Storyton Hall in western Virginia, begins to break ground for an upcoming spa addition to her acclaimed bibliophile vacation destination, “a skull and a smattering of bones” are found and with this discovery an old box containing a damaged “cookbook” that when its secrets are revealed will result in deaths, kidnappings, and clues as to where the Fins can find Templars that will stop at nothing to lay claim to a hidden library and the treasures that it holds.
To understand Jane’s responsibilities, the library, and the Fins, you need to start at the beginning -- back to when the books held a fascination -- and work their way through them sequentially. Beginning at the end, will only puzzle the readers and leave a limited desire to pick up another book in this series.
