Wonderful tale of archeology, Indian legends, and danger.
A great treasure hunting mystery!
Well worth reading.
A little hard to get into and slow at times but overall the characters were good
The book has an interesting plot and some twists I didn’t expect. There were a few details that got dropped in the plotting which is mostly why I didn’t give it a 5 rating. I would label it romantic suspense.
Confusing shaman mysticism with Christian theology and not really going anywhere.
I enjoyed this book very much
This plot was rather interesting, but the characters were too predictable, and the story line could not keep me interested.
I live in AZ and found the setting accurate and entertaining. Difficult to pjt down until finished reading
Really good. End was a little weak.
Couldn’t put it down, it was exciting.
It was a good read!!!!
enjoyed a good moral book with a good story
This was an intriguing story that drew me in from the beginning: suspense, romance and very enjoyable read
Weavers Needle by author Robin Caroll is based on the legend of the Dutchman’s Lost mine in Arizona, USA.
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. Her new client is offering a fifty thousand dollar recovery fee to find the original 1850’s document which was stolen when her husband was killed. 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!
