Weaver's Needle by Robin Caroll
Landry Parker is a recovery specialist. She needs to be able to keep her doors open and the perfect, well-paying job has just come in. The Widow Winslet is a rather unusual client and has hired another specialist as well. May the best manâor in her case, womanâwin.
Nickolai Baptiste really needs a quick influx of cash. As a retired cop, he's not sure if this Winslet deal crosses the line into interference of an open case. But when the challenge is thrown out...he decides to go for it.
This story takes our characters from New Orleans to Apache Junction, Arizona. To the territory of legends. And danger.
I enjoy reading books in familiar areas. Places I can âseeâ in my mind as I read. This takes place in the Superstition Mountains. Mountains where the curves in the road really are tight and sharp. I loved learning more about the Lost Dutchman Gold.

This author captivatingly whisked me away on an adventure that reminded me of the movie National Treasure but better. The story is set in Superstition Mountains which I found fascinating. Here's the situation a potential clients' husband has been murdered and a treasure map was stolen from his body. The first one to recover the map and return it to her would receive fifty thousand dollars. The stakes are high; each is in desperate need of the money.
Landry Parker is a former Army MP who is smart, feisty, a fighter, loyal and is passionate about her faith. She has a unique set of puzzles solving tools at her disposal. The other specialist Nickolai Baptiste is a former New Orleans police officer who sees things from a law enforcement angle carries lots of baggage from the past and he's not sure who holds his future.
Sparks fly between these two in more ways than one as they try to outwit the other to be the first to obtain the map and the prize. I liked how the author pitted these two recovery specialists against each other and how they went about seeking clues to the treasure. Landry talks things over with her best friend and Nickolai talks about his findings with his former partner who just so happens to be working on the murder investigation connected to the map. I enjoyed that because the reader got to know more than each of the specialist. I found myself trying to solve the case too!
The author effortlessly weaves together a Native American legend, customs, beliefs, with nail-biting suspense, as elements of evil and danger attack Landry and Nickolai in their search for clues to find the missing map.
This thrilling race quickly becomes dangerous; which is a game changer for both specialists. I enjoyed this page-turning, gripping adventure, with likable characters, that had a hint of romance, and a compelling journey that drops readers into a gold mine guarded by a mysterious legend
You'll want to leave plenty of time to enjoy every second of this novel. The author has included 10 discussion questions to help in creating lively discussion time. This makes for a fun book club selection.
