The search for Montezuma’s treasure, a good-looking rogue, and family secrets!
“Sometimes when you read a series of books, the quality of them seems to diminish as you read further into the series,” wrote Susan Ortlieb, Suko’s Notebook. “The first book mesmerizes you, but subsequent books are just not as good. The characters become, well, boring and predictable and even annoying after a while. You don't really care about their antics anymore, and may even decide to quit while you're ahead--and stop reading. It's a bit sad. But Linda Weaver Clarke has done it again. I am charmed by her new book, Montezuma Intrigue: The Adventures of John and Julia Evans.”
Theresa Franklin, Life’s Journey, was impressed with the values mentioned in this story. She describes the mystery novel as “truly intriguing. The old country and western song said, ‘You had me from hello.’ Linda Weaver Clarke had my interest from the first sentence. It is an adventure from beginning to end. Although the plot is finding the treasure, there are sub-plots that teach Christian values found in few books today. Linda does a great job of weaving these values into the story without taking away from the main plot. I highly recommend this book to adults and young adults alike.”
Socrates Book Review gave this adventure series the “Great Book Alert Award.” This story has several hidden mysteries all wrapped into one. She wrote: “This story mixes adventure, suspense and romance into one captivating story. Readers will be enchanted by the entire family, as well as gripped by the terror inflicted on them by the ‘bad guys’. I do hope we will visit with the Evans’ family again. They are so enjoyable to get to know.”
When a leather parchment of Montezuma’s map is found in great-grandfather Evans’ old chest, April and the twins know this summer is going to be a memorable one. The girls want to search for it but their father is against it for some mysterious reason. With Julia’s help, she and the girls convince John to go on a treasure hunt. Is Montezuma’s treasure a legend or reality? Whatever the case, John insists on keeping their little treasure hunt a secret. If certain people find out about it, the family could be in danger.
