Five Plus Plus Stars for Hidden Gem!

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.”

Their plans are stymied when a war erupts between the sheriff and a state police detective who want to arrest the same man for different crimes.
