WEAVERS NEEDLE...a bit of history, a bit of mystery, a bit of spiritual intrigue, with a hint of romance!

New Book Alert! Author Robin Caroll will be releasing another book this week. Weavers Needle

Thank you to NetGalley for allowing me to read an advanced copy of Weavers Needle for an honest review.

Weavers Needle by author Robin Caroll is based on the legend of the Dutchman’s Lost mine in Arizona, USA.  This area has many mysteries and disappearances of those who cross the rugged terrain in search for hidden gold within the Superstition mountain area. As the book progressed I was intrigued to read the Native American aspect of history for that area. The Apache Shamans wanted to stop  intruders to their sacred mountain. The gold was not to be used for the white man or people. It was to be kept safely within the mountain for the Thunder God. There is a very spiritual theme to this book which I found so interesting. The story also has a Christian faith based theme which the author delicately and very skillfully worked into the events which affect the main characters, Landry and Nickolai. I won’t post spoilers, but will let you know I very much enjoyed this book!

Landry Parker is an ex-Army MP who has been continuing her fathers “Recovery”  business in New Orleans since his death. Now the business is in financial peril and she is desperate to earn enough money fast to put her business back on a solid financial foundation. Landry is good at her job, she learned how to find lost or hidden art, people, and collectibles as she worked with her father.  

Her new client is offering a fifty thousand dollar recovery fee for a lost document. The document was stolen from her husband after he was murdered. Landry is not hired to solve the case or find who is responsible for Mr. Winslet’s murder, but to find an original document dating from around the 1850’s which was said to be the dying instructions of Weaver on how to find the legendary cache of gold in the Superstition mountain. Before the meeting with Mrs. Winslet starts, another person is admitted into the room. The search is to be a competition between Landry and another PI, named Nickolai Baptiste, if they both agree to take the case. They do not like this arrangement, but they both are in need of money.  Nickolai is an ex police officer who needs the money to pay for the additional care for his troubled sister.

So, if you enjoy a bit of history, a bit of mystery, a bit of spiritual intrigue, with a hint of romance…this is a must read!

Great writing, Robin Caroll!
