This is a cozy mystery with some otherworldly elements. The places are places I would like to see and the situation is one that everyone has always dreamed of. An unknown "relative" dying and leaving us money.

Can't wait to find out what happens in book 3! As usual this ends as a cliffhanger!

From back cover: Travel deeper into the mysterious world of the Copernicus Legacy with the Copernicus Archives. This first installment picks up right where the book left off, with the Kaplan family seeking the next Copernicus relic. Now Wade leads the chase through the streets of San Francisco while on the run from one of Galina Krause's most treacherous henchmen. Solving the riddles that will reveal the relic's location involves making alliances with suspicious strangers and guarding an ancient Chinese artifact that people would risk their lives to protect - or steal.
Fast, exciting, suspenseful!

I enjoyed the book. It was a fun read and since it was part of a series, it furthered the ongoing plot lines which was part of my motivation for reading the book.

This was interesting and fun to read. It was about a young woman who helped her husband run a chicken ranch on the west coast in a very rural area.

A mix of modern and historic information - real and a little supernatural - it involved complex relationships as well as a treasure hunt.

Both my son and daughter love stories about Gramma Dowdel. She is always unexpected, hiding a soft heart and a keen sense of what is the best thing to do under a gruff and forbidding exterior. The stories are warm and humorous and are accompanied by lots of laughter.

This book about very clever, inventive boys who use science to solve problems, keep a step ahead of their rivals and pull crazy stunts is a hoot.

"As a favour to his girlfriend Tossa's beautiful but erratic filmstar mother, Dominic Felse agrees to escort a teenage heiress to her father in India. But travelling with the spoilt, precocious Anjili is no sinecure - and the task of delivering her back to her family proves less than easy. Dominic and Tossa find themselves embroiled in a mystery that swiftly and shockingly becomes a murder investigation. For behind the colorful, smiling mask of India that the tourist sees is another country - remote, mysterious - and often shatteringly brutal." I am a huge fan of Ellis Peters and enjoy these glimpses of India. I also enjoyed seeing Dominic and Tossa depend on each other, deal with Anjili and try to figure out who else they could trust in this twisting, turning mystery.

My daughter and I laughed so hard at this book we were crying. We loved it. It made the other adult listeners in the room stop and take notice and often laugh too.

I enjoyed the book. Like a lot of Barbara Cartland books, this is a historical romance and centers around the accepted roles of women during that time period - what they are capable of and what they expected to do or not to do. The heroine fills in for her ill father as a language expert. She journeys alone and unannounced to join a man who not only has no use for women, but is doing intelligence gathering in a dangerous Muslim country where women are nonentities. The plot is good, I wish it were a bit longer and had more time for depth and more character development.

A cookbook of recipes for people who really enjoy good food and would like to make their own. There are some wonderful recipes in here. So far everything I have tried has been terrific!

This book was a combination of historical romance and fantasy book which was right up my alley. The book was put together as an exchange of letters between the two female protagonists and each author took one heroine. I really enjoyed the format as well as the plot and action. This book had it all from my point of view, suspense, action, humor and romance. I definitely recommend this as a great read!

A very fun read! I really enjoyed the exciting story with all its twists and turns. It was not a hard read, but it was a hard book to put down. My 10 year old son enjoyed it very much, it was right up his alley with magic, action, suspense, fights, and intrigue.
