I was recently honoured in receiving a copy of "The Celtic Dagger" by Jill Paterson through a Goodreads giveaway. And am glad I entered! My copy arrived two days before Christmas, and not only was it signed, but there was a lovely hand-written card from Jill!
The Celtic Dagger is Jill's debut work - though you would never guess. The dagger in question is one of three artifacts linked to a murder. In the course of investigations, family secrets are unravelled, workplace relationships are put under the microscope, and we are taken on a spellbinding journey to the very end when all is packaged up for us.
The story is set in the academic world of a noted Sydney University and its Antiquities Department. We travel between states in Australia as clues are tantalising placed in our paths. I enjoyed being able to read of places that I am familiar with - being home turf.
There will be no spoilers here - you will have to read all for yourself. Suffice to say that I read this book in one sitting - I literaly could not put it down in my quest to discover all. I am so looking forward to Jill's next book!
