So far, it only has six reviews on Amazon but they are ALL 5*s.
(If anyone out there has read but not yet reviewed Topaz Eyes, I'd really appreciate a few words about it. The more reviews the merrier!)
"This is a skilfully paced and plotted novel, in which the various story-lines only come together at the very end."
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
When Keira Drummond, an Edinburgh-based translator, receives an
invitation to a gallery opening in Heidelberg, she sees it as an
opportunity to revisit a city she worked in and loved some years
previously. The invitation, however, turns out to be a pretext for an
unexpected gathering, at which a plan is hatched to re-unite some family
jewels long-since dispersed, for an exhibition. The plan has been drawn
up by Jensen Amsel, a wealthy collector, and also present are Zaan de
Raad, an antique dealer, and Teun Zeger. The three men are distant
cousins. Keira, though connected to the family, is not related to them
by blood, and knows none of them. Fascinated by the prospects, she
becomes deeply involved in a quest that takes her to Minnesota, New
York, Vienna and back to Heidelberg. It soon becomes apparent, however,
that others are on the trail of the jewels and, sensing that she is
being followed, Keira does not know who she can and cannot trust. This
is a skilfully paced and plotted novel, in which the various story-lines
only come together at the very end.
Thank you for this lovely review, Dr. Mark Patton. It's very much welcomed.
Slainthe!
