The Ghost Manuscript

by Kris Frieswick

I look for books that hit all my favorites.  A little mystery, old books, libraries, ancient myths, and an adventure.  The Ghost Manuscript hit all of these.  Frieswick even throws a little romance into the mix.  I envy Ms. Carys Jones.  She has the perfect job.  She authenticates Dark Age texts for potential buyers and reads ancient Latin like it’s her native tongue.  When she is given the task of verifying a library inventory for one of her favorite clients, it’s a tough assignment.  As she works her way through the shelves, she uncovers a secret that could change the path of history. She begins to question the validity of what she is reading and she wonders if this is what put her client in a psychiatric hospital.   Carys rapidly learns the truth and the dangers in this revelation.  She’s not sure how she should progress with her information but she soon finds a guide to assist her on a quest that will take her to Wales and back to her own backyard. 

This was a very entertaining novel and I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it.  The overall quest was a great surprise for me but didn’t change my mind as I continued reading.  I highly suggest this one for readers of Dan Brown, even Clive Cussler though this doesn’t have all the toys available to Dirk Pitt.  This is pure enjoyment reading at its best.  It’s a great one for teens who enjoy their pages filled with great suspense with a little romance thrown in for good measure.  Good reading~

I wish to thank the publisher and NetGalley for access to the Advanced Reader Copy for my honest review.
