Free spirit
Pandora is shaken by the sudden death of her mother and the presence of a
mysterious stranger at the funeral. When her mother’s grave is disturbed, she
turns detective and finds herself drawn into a world of intrigue, centring
round a devious couple’s plot to exploit a healing circle for their own ends.
Her partner Jay’s collaboration with a sexy singer and her own encounter
with an old flame add to the confusion. Will she succeed in her quest
to restore equilibrium to her family circle or will the
decisions she and Jay make set them up for more heartache?
I was given a copy of this book in return for an honest
review. And I loved it.
This story has it all: family secrets, family crises, intrigue,
duplicity, legend, magic, mystery… I
love the way the author has cleverly blended the many and varied forms of
spirituality into the everyday lives of the characters, skilfully demonstrating
how thin are the veils between this world and the dimensions beyond.
Carolyn Mathews’ writing is fast-paced and beautifully
readable, with a great sense of place and a cast of truly believable characters. I won’t
go into details about the story itself as I don’t want to give away any
spoilers, but suffice it to say that I was hooked from the first page and was
genuinely sorry when I reached the end.
By that time, I felt as though the characters had become firm friends,
and they will stay with me for a long time.
Highly recommended.
Carolyn Mathews' English
Language writing and teaching career included a stint with a class of 'Harry
Potter' extras at the local Warner Bros. studio, Hertfordshire. With so much
magic in the air, it's no wonder she now writes fiction with more than a hint
of the supernatural.
