New 5* review for Topaz Eyes on Amazon UK by Sandy:
A gripping read. Mystery and romance! Starting with coffee in Heidelberg then racing through Scotland, America, Austria, and Amsterdam. Who are the treacherous villains? family? and why? Nothing is revealed until the final riveting pages.
This is my first Nancy Jardine novel and it certainly won't be my last.
New review for Topaz Eyes on Amazon UK
5* By Jane l Bwye
“This is a stunning read, which absorbed my attention from the beginning. The characters of Keira and Teun are drawn with great intensity of feeling as they pursue clues in the hunt for the Tiru Salana jewels.
Their quest takes them from Heidelburg to the USA, then back to Vienna, Amsterdam and finally to Edinburgh. The ambience of each is portrayed in loving detail, so you feel as if you are actually there.
They are stalked by hired gunmen and wonder if their own relatives are traitors. And their love blossoms into pleasurable maturity.
Even the plot is skilfully contrived without being too arduous to follow. I could not put it down, and cannot fault it.”
