This
is the second book in the Stella Hunter Mysteries and I read The
Harmony Scroll first and then the first novel Ribbons of Death and I
can say I was not disappointed in either book!! I was able to follow
on from where the first book, Ribbons of Death, left off and The
Harmony Scroll commences with Timothy J Carter recovering in a
military hospital from where the story unfolds.
Without
giving too much of an excellent storyline away, the two heroes in the
book are Timothy J Carter, who has a long standing military career
and also with the CIA and FBI and Dr Stella Hunter who is an expert
in paranormal studies. The story starts with Carter' recovering in
hospital and doing his best to get discharged and when he does the
action kicks in. Living in a small American town a fire occurs at
Stella's house with the arsonist hoping to have 'taken care' of both
Stella and her son Gabriel. Carter is not convinced and proceeds to
take matters into his own hand to solve the matter.
Stella's
son is also under an ancient curse and is searching for a way to end
this and she and Carter go on an epic journey to try and end the
curse by searching for the Harmony Scroll, the location of which is
unknown. The Harmony Scroll is believed to contain a mantra to free
Gabriel from the curse. Their exploits are also being watched and
dark forces enter their search and when they hopefully think their
search is coming to an end the paranormal have been manipulative in
Carter and Hunter's search. From here.............. read the book!
If
you are looking for a book which covers many genres, this is one not
to be missed as it can be found under mystery, murder, crime,
violence, paranormal, suspense, historical, thriller and the list
goes on.
An
excellent novel which has an exciting story line throughout. The
plots, characters, locations etc are very well described giving the
reader a feeling of being there, and in parts reading quickly to turn
the page to see what happens next. Edita's writing style is flowing,
easy to read and continuous so that the reader is not having to
back-track previous chapters of the book to refresh one's memory. It
is good quality writing that enables the reader to leave the book and
pick up without loosing one's place in the story. The story is well
constructed and the whole book flows from beginning to end and keeps
the reader's attention at all times.
