What is not to love?
Phoe is at it again. In The Spear of Destiny, we learn a little bit more about Phoe and her family. She is hired by Simon to find her brother, Eric. Eric left to find the Spear of Destiny. Phoe has had no contact with Eric since he left and has no idea where he is. Phoe has a very contentious relationship, at best, with her mother. Her mother who is ex CIA.
Phoe once again steps up to the plate. The two goons her mom hired to help her discourage Phoe instead try to kidnap her. She find Eric only to have to fight off those trying to collect a debt from him. Simon is shot..... a comedy of events that has the reader chuckling.
With the use of detective skills, Phoe realizes that the postcard her mother said had been from Eric, was really from someone who wanted the Spear of Destiny and needed her to find it. Using logic, Phoe goes to a Jewish store in Portland and buys the items listed on the postcard... that leads the Jewish Rabbi to take her to a locked room. It is here that she learns more about where the Spear of Destiny is.
Phoe beats her mother at her own game, helps out Eric, finds the shaft of the spear and doesn't tell Simon that she also knows where the head of the spear is. Could that become another adventure? Is Phoe right and it should remain hidden.
Love the history and the comedy in this book. Excellent read.
A quick read
The story is entertaining; the characters are appealing; the writing is clear. Everything could be fleshed out into a more lengthy novel, tying loose ends into a cohesive bundle. All of the information is there, but I give it for of five because of the unfinished bits left dangling throughout the tale. Perhaps they will become parts of future spirits?
Fast read
This is the next book in the "phoe" stories. It is sort of a continuation, but can be read without having read the first book(new characters, little reference to old characters or other story). This is a fast read, adventure story; think Indiana Jones type story.
Five Stars
Very good series!
