Treasure Hunters Club - Tom Ryan - Top Book Pick!

Fiction/Thriller

Rating: 8.5/10

Secret society…check. Cryptic clues…check. Buried treasure…check. Think Goonies for grownups.

Maple Bay has a story to tell, at the turn of the century a pirate ship crashed and sunk, its treasure lost forever. Or was it? Five teenage boys stumble upon the riches and agree to bury them somewhere safe and go back for it when they all turn eighteen. But it’s long gone before they get there. Decades later, their descendants form a society to find what has been lost twice before. But when they start getting killed off, an unexpected trio find themselves on the case.

The Main Cast:

Peter – a fortysomething with little to show for those years who responds to a mysterious letter than invites him to meet a long lost relative. At a mansion no less!

Dandy – a too smart for her own good (in my humble opinion, not a thing) teen who finds a tantalizing clue to secrets her beloved grandfather left for her to find after his death.

Cass – a wannabee writer looking for a way out of her dead-end job, she takes a housesitting gig and finds herself pulled into an ages old mystery that might be the perfect subject for a book.

With a mind-blowing twist I didn’t see coming, surprising poignant relationships and an abundance of legend and lore, this is the adventure tale you didn’t know you needed!
