The Treasure Hunters Club

Centuries ago, after engaging in a fierce sea battle, Captain Barnabas Dagger sent some of his crew ashore to bury their ill-gotten gains. Ever since then, the legendary Obelisk Treasure has drawn treasure hunters from around the globe to Maple Bay, Nova Scotia. Now Cass Jones, a one-hit wonder author hoping to revive her writing career; Peter Barnett, whose stuck-in-a-rut life is shaken up by the surprise news that he is the heir to Maple Bay’s leading family; and Dandy Feltzen, whose late beloved grandfather left her a clue to the Obelisk Treasure, get caught up in a final, frantic race to discover the whereabouts of Captain Dagger’s legendary booty. Ryan (I Hope You’re Listening), known for his award-winning YA novels, serves up an ingeniously plotted adult mystery that cleverly combines a marvelously entertaining cast of characters, writing embellished with a wonderfully wry sense of wit, and a vividly realized setting that has all the cozy charm of Jessica Fletcher’s Cabot Cove, with almost as many murders.
