But, tormented by visions and threats on her life, Sarah fears the ship may claim her as its final victim.
Set along the dramatic and dangerous Anglesey coastline, The Charter is a story of greed and forgiveness - when the treasures of the past evoke the crimes of today.
It was good. Maybe not as enticing as Closure was for me but it kept my attention and I wanted to finish it and that's what counts!
I love stories that encompass history, legend, mystery and crime. I enjoy a fast-paced narrative and an intriguing plot. I also like to be transported to an unknown place. These are the reasons I devoured The Charter, set along the wild and dangerous Welsh coast. Based on the story of the 1859 shipwreck of the Royal Charter, on its fated voyage from the goldfields of Australia to Liverpool, the author has created a beguiling modern-day tale around the gold the survivors brought to shore in their
This is a magnificently woven tale. Take a treasure hunt, add in a little murder, a little mayhem, and, oh yes, a ghost, and you get a nail-biting adventure. I am more than a little impressed with how this author blends so many components into a cohesive unit.

I appreciated how Hamer incorporated the story and POV of Angelina, the
So pleased I saw Jo's review of this one on Goodreads - I absolutely loved it. What first attracted me was the setting - Moelfre is one of my favourite places on Anglesey (I was brought up near Bangor), and my father has always told me stories about the sinking of the Royal Charter.

I do love books where historical events like the shipwreck of the Royal Charter are interwoven with a modern mystery. And I do hate books where mysteries have some supernatural elements. Am I a person who loves her prejudices? You bet!

I love modern-day mysteries with roots tangled deep in the pastfamily secrets, century-old tragedies, trails of clues that force me to think yet still surprise me in the end. This beautifully written story fulfills all those requirements and tosses in a set of interesting characters and stunning descriptions of the Welsh countryside. I read half the story in one evening and still wanted to know what would happen next to Sarah and Danny. You can find my full review atIt was good.
