Loved it

This audiobook is full of twists and turns at every corner and I was kept guessing right to the very end. It is a cleverly woven who done it and I loved it!

The treasure hunt is on!!!!

The treasure hunt is on! Who knew having a house left to you when a relative died would result in this?
Andy & his sister go to look at & clear the house and the treasure hunt unravels before them. Some strange neighbours if I’m honest. But small towns can unearth characters! & these guys definitely find them.
The hunt itself, is confusing and torturous. Patience is needed and as the story unfolds things happen that would test anyone!
A teaser & fast moving tale.

treasure hunt with a family twist

The book was twisting and turning from beginning to end at various points of the book you think you know what is going to happen and the outcome but the author just turns that on its head and leads you down a different path

Fast-paced and thrilling

What a gem of a book! Original plot, witty dialogue, memorable, well-rounded and realistic characters, mysteries, secrets - I loved every minute! I listened to it on audio and read it at the same time, finding it difficult to tear myself away from the story, which was fast-paced and truly thrilling. The audio narration was excellent. This book was a real treat for me and I keep recommending it to all my friends.

Very enjoyable !!!

The truth I wasn’t sure about this one and for the first 10 minutes I thought that I made a mistake asking to review Morton but after those 10 minutes I truly couldn’t put this book down or take a break.
Erik Therme have managed to surprise me with a beautiful writing and a very enjoyable story full of excellent twists.
Coupled with Christopher Lane narrating created a perfect audiobook.

So yes I full heartedly recommend this audiobook !


Even so that I got this audiobook for free I truly believe that my review was absolutely honest.

Engaging mystery

I enjoyed this book! The characters are very accessible, the tone is engaging, the plot quickly draws the reader in, the story is plainly ridiculous but great fun and I looked forward to continuing with it.
Andy arrives at the town of Mortom after the death of his cousin, Craig, as he is the sole beneficiary in the will. He can't understand why his cousin has done this and there isn't much to inherit. But Andy soon stumbles across the first in a number of strange clues that have been set by Craig and the rest of the book is focused on following Andy as he chases around after clues and puzzles, planned by Craig prior to his death. I found myself trying to figure out the puzzles to be clever and work out where it was going but I didn't have a clue and the end took me by surprise.
Narration is spot on and really brings the story to life, adding to the experience.
Recommended if you want a light read with a bit of a punch so long as you are able to suspend belief and just go with it....


I received a review copy of the book from the publisher/author, don't know anyone related to the book and have given an honest review.

Top notch mystery!

This is the second Erik Therme book I’ve reviewed, and I was again strongly reminded of Stephen King. King has such an amazing skill of creating believable characters whose journey you just want to follow, and I think Therme possesses that same skill.

He takes the reader, and his protagonist, Andy, on a macabre treasure-hunt which starts with a decomposing rat and faces us with tasks in places no sane person would undertake. But Andy is no ordinary person; he’s obsessed by puzzles, and the greatest one he needs to solve is why Craig has left his house, and this trail, to him. But with a deathly threat hanging over him, he has no choice other than to see things out – even when he doesn’t like where they’re heading.

I loved this story! The pace and story were wonderful, and the small town USA feel was perfect. The writing is such that even minor characters are memorable, and with secrets aplenty, you’re never too sure who is going to be important and who isn’t. And as a reader, Therme keeps you as baffled (and as interested) as he does Andy. Oh, and Christopher Lane’s narration is top notch too!

first ever review

Forgive me, this is my first ever review posted. I received this audible version as part of my on line book club very kindly from the author himself. Im not sure I would have picked the book as this was not an author I knew and actually thought it would be a British book (shows how little I know) however being an avid reader I gave it a go. I was hooked after the first few minutes after the initial American voice gave me a shock! The story line kept me listening, the many twists and turns, I decided I both loved and disliked Andy and his sister who both excited and frustrated me in equal measure. I found that I wanted to know about the puzzle almost as much as Andy, I dont want to give the story away but would readily purchase a sequel. anyone who wants a listen that is quick paced with a good story line twists and turns along the way that will keep you guessing until the last word, then this is the book for you.
