If intrigue and high stakes treasure hunts are your literary preference have I got a book for you! You won't be able to put down MacKenzie Reed's The Rose Wood Hunt.
Rosetown, a coastal Massachusetts town, revolves around the Rosewood family. Although in recent years it hasn't all been smooth sailing, the townspeople rely on the family's high end fashion industry for jobs. Lily Rosewood, Reed's narrator, is granddaughter of the family matriarch. She looks forward to learning about the family business from her beloved grandmother and eventually taking over.
But you know what they say about the best laid plans of mice and men. The day after a lavish party at her mansion Iris is found dead. And the family fortune is missing.
Before her death Iris had set up an intricate treasure hunt for Lily and three other teens featuring a map and a series of very cryptic clues. Just running against time to solve the mystery would be a challenge.
But Lily's estranged cousin, Daisy, is a TikTok star with a half a million followers. When she puts the family's business out there uninvited treasure hunters begin descending on Rosetown, willing to do whatever it takes to acquire the fortune.
If intrigue and suspense, seasoned with romance and betrayal, are your recipe for a delicious read you'll find The Rose Wood Hunt to be in very good taste.
On a purrrsonal note, well over half a year after the stroke I've finally started baking. I'd been cooking for quite awhile. But baking is more delicate--the measuring and all. The hardest thing for me to relearn so far has been cracking an egg without the insides falling on the floor. I started with banana bread, then went on to molasses cake. Today I upped my game to my mother-in-law's chocolate chip cookies. They came decent.
A great big shout out goes out to my mother-in-law, Arlene Hathaway.
