Reviews for The Secret of the Treasure Keepers

The Secret Of The Treasure Keepers is a thrilling archaeological dig of a mystery novel, with each new clue as precious and exciting as buried gold. A.M. Howell writes so evocatively that I could practically smell the trowelled earth! Truly superb stuff. * Darren Simpson *
