Before he comes to the end of his quest, Brian will unearth the crumbling English manor’s secrets as well as find his own life in jeopardy. But it is Brian’s internal quest that proves the most dificult as he desperately searches for renewal and healing.
My Review: I love a good mystery/suspense read! I almost didn't read this book because the cover was not attractive to me. However, I read the back and the found a curious mixture of delight and excitement in regard to the book of hours that was used in the early centuries of the church. I had never heard of the book of hours in history. So, I began reading this page-turner-of-a-story. I was quite involved in the history of this book as well as the mystery that develops when Brian finds a letter in his deceased wife's belongings. Feeling somewhat despondent and out of sorts Brain decides to visit "this place" mentioned in his wife's letter. Off Brian goes with suspense following at his every footstep. Can Brain with his new found friend, Cecilia, save the Castle Keep? What secrets are hounding Brian's life? Don't know the answers....want to find out then read this fantastic book! I absolutely LOVE this 5 star book.
