I really love this series and now finally have the 4 book Donovan series on Kindle. While all are favorites I have a real soft spot for Owen Walker the Hero of book 4. This one is about Faith Donovan & rubies and like previous goes into the history of them that I so fascinating especially as plot points. The research that went into these is appreciated.

The author really knows how to set a scene and books really pull you in. This I think is most evocative of them all and you really are transported to the Low Country in it. I could practically smell the gardenias. Action, humor, great characters and plot. Even on read number 7 still stayed up to finish it. Oldie but goody, only thing wrong was the cover artist hadn’t read book. Read and enjoy a really good writer & storyteller.

Having lived part of my adult life in the low country made this especially interesting with the ghostly parts that are a strong part of the history and the story was enjoyable. I had read Pearl Cove first, finding at a yard
sale. I enjoyed that so I searched and got the first, second and this one on Amazon. Thanks for good stories, and I have to say the "heat" got to this 70 year old lady!!! Thanks for turning up my furnace. Staying warm and having great fun in NC.😻

I am a huge fan of Ms. Lowell's; I probably have every book that she has written. I could not give this book a 5 star rating because I feel that the job of this book was not complete. I compare it to a 3-hour movie that producers have cut down to 2 just to draw more viewers, and in doing that leave the viewers feeling cheated. The suspense was 5 star, the story line a 5, but when I got to the last 10 pages I kept thinking...'we've only got a few pages left and a lot more left undone'. I feel ...

The suspense was 5 star, the story line a 5, but when I got to the last 10 pages I kept thinking...'we've only got a few pages left and a lot more left undone'. I feel that Ms. Lowell could (and should) have added another chapter to this book to give it the ending it deserved, why she didn't is yet another mystery to all of the other unanswered questions I had when I was finished. I also had to wonder why we had so much of Archer and Hannah, and nothing of Kyle and Lianne (Ms. Lowell barely hinted to the twins). I hope that if she continues with the Donovan's that she gives us a little more at the end of the story to make it complete, instead of leaving so much left undone.
