Five Plus Plus Stars for Hidden Gem!
N. N. Light loved my book! This is my first review for
Hidden Gem: the Secret of St. Augustine, and it’s a doozy. Here’s a quote:
“Hidden Gem: the Secret of St. Augustine is a
romantic adventure rolled up into a mystery that is one of the best books I've
read this year. It has all the components I crave in an unputdownable read and
then some. M.S. Spencer writes an addictive mystery with quirky characters, a
treasure hunt, all taking place in one of the oldest cities in America.”

romance Hidden Gem: the Secret of St.
Augustine! Read about Barnaby and Philo’s
first kiss 😊.
My new mystery
Hidden Gem: the Secret of St. Augustine
releases Monday April 4
Barnaby and Philo’s story begins with very bad chili and a
dead body. Barnaby is in St. Augustine, Florida, to teach a college seminar,
and plans to use The Secret—a treasure hunt book—as a framework for his class.
He enlists Philo Brice, owner of an antique map store, to aid him in seeking
clues in the historic sites of the ancient city.
Together they face murderers, thieves, thugs, and fanatics, heightening their
already strong attraction to each other. Can they solve the puzzle and unearth
the treasure before the villains do? Philo and Barnaby pursue several twisting
paths and false leads before arriving at a startling conclusion.
