I received this book for free to review from the publisher.
This book instantly hooked me and I finished it in a little more than a day. We have down on her luck, Millie, needing to find a new home for her dementia ridden grandmother who raised her. We also have Ben who is trying to figure all the people his mother scammed out of their money; hoping, but not sure how to pay them all back. Ben catches Millie snooping in a library at a mutual job of theirs....play actors in a chateau that belonged to a very rich family in the year 1929. Millie is searching for a journal her grandmother said was hidden by her mother with a map to a treasure and hopefully the solution to all their financial problems.
So Millie reluctantly brings Ben along for the search and agrees to split whatever they find or any "finders fee" that comes along.
What follows is journal entries and the clues that Millie and Ben try to follow.
I loved the relationship between the two MCs. They start as little more than acquaintances, move into being friends, and then eventually falling for each other.
This was a good mystery story with great characters that kept me interested.
