"I hated you for having the life I never had, all all the opportunities I was never given. You weren't some weird kid who live with his weird mother , stuck in a weird little town. And if that wasn't injustice enough, all I ever heard from my mother was how I should be more like my perfect cousin. And the pathetic part is I tried."......
Andy and his sister Kate arrive in the town of
Mortom. Andy has been named beneficiary in a will belonging to his late cousin, Craig. What at first
seems nothing more than a nuisance of a run down house and no money, turns into
some kind of twisted treasure hunt. Apparently Craig was fond of puzzles and is
continuing a game even after his death. Or was this put in motion by someone
else?
So it begins this mystery with the discovery of a
note and a key. Andy had the love of
puzzle solving in common with Craig. So maybe it was Craig who set him on
this quest? If Craig's death was accidental then how could he have pre-planned a
treasure hunt? Why did he just recently write his will a few weeks prior to his
death at the young age off 33? There are several mysteries at work here. Can
Andy uncover the truth? Is he playing the ultimate game? What is to be gained at
the end of this twisted treasure hunt?
Each clue had me turning pages and trying to guess
what the clue meant. It was a fast paced story with intriguing characters. Andy
and Kate have until Friday the 13th to figure out the puzzle. What happens
then?
Oh the things Andy will have to do to get all the
clues.
Not everyone is thrilled with them being in "Mortom."
With a few shocking surprises and an ending that may leave you wanting this to
turn into another book.
Thank you Erik Therme
