THE TREASURE HUNTERS CLUB

Unexplained deaths, betrayal, corruption, secret societies, and buried treasure are only a few of the plot threads in Tom Ryan's twisty new mystery, and narrator Graham Halstead meshes them seamlessly. Peter Barnett's routine life changes after his estranged grandmother contacts him, inviting him to share her Maple Bay, Nova Scotia, mansion. Failed writer Cass is house-sitting in Maple Bay, hoping to revive her writing, while teenager Dandy is puzzling over her late grandfather's instructions to take his place in a secret group that is searching for buried treasure. Halstead juggles the alternating voices easily, heightening the tension when a series of suspicious deaths occurs. His multifaceted delivery highlights the town's eccentric characters, Cass's research on the pirate treasure, and Dandy's sleuthing. Exciting, surprising, and witty listening.
