The Monarch Anne Serafini Mystery Shannon Esposito 9781482337150 Books Reviews
Do you believe in fate or serendipity? After two weeks of breaking everything I touch I can indeed relate to Anne's Seafini's sting of bad luck. Or is it bad luck? Fate seems to be the ruling force behind everything Anne does, but she doesn't believe in it. I'm not sure I did either, until I read this book.
Anne Serafinin is a forensic photographer who has decided to it's time to find a new path in life. She moves to an island off the Florida coast and becomes involved in the investigation of a serial killer who is murdering women and leaving their plastic wrapped bodies in the water.
It's really hard to believe that this novel is not on the best sellers list right along with books by Dean Koontz, Tom Clancy, and Robert Ludlum. When I started reading I actually double checked to make sure this was indeed an independent author, and not one of those well known authors hiding behind a pen name. The style and flow is second to non.
This is a who-done-it with a paranormal twist. The paranormal aspect being serendipity, but introduced in a subtle and believable manor. The protagonist, Anne, really doesn't believe she has a gift and is resistant to the idea. As the possibility is presented Anne, and the reader, are slowly convinced that anything is possible and fate does exist, along with the gift of serendipity.
The story line and characters in this novel are not new, but they are well developed and keep the reader guessing. With a few twists and turns it's almost impossible to figure out who the killer is. There are hints throughout the story, but the full story behind the murders is hidden, until the reader is sitting on the edge of their seat cheering on the good guys, hoping for a positive outcome.
This novel is more than captivating, it's believable.
If you were thinking of going out and spending 15 or 20 dollars on a best selling thriller, save yourself a pile of money and go buy The Monarch for an astounding 3 dollars. If you're a fan of Robert Ludlum or other best selling thriller authors, you cannot go wrong with The Monarch.
Another book by Shannon Esposito that I couldn't put down. The endings of her books are always a surprise. Recommend to anyone into mysteries.
The clues are all there, but like the heroine, it took me almost to the end to figure out "who done it". Yes I considered it early on, but alternate options kept popping up. Not my all time favorite, but a good read.
Our heroine grew and saved herself and others. Even though the cavalry came to the rescue, the important saving was already done. And the romantic thread was adult as both realized the importance of being whole. Looking forward to more exploits with a psychic twist.
This was an excellent read. Kept me on edge all the way through the book. Would really like to see a book 2, to continue the series (Anne Serafini Mystery series). At least I hope it is a series. The characters are very likeable and the book leaves one with the wish to read more about them. This was not a "cozy" mystery, which is what I usually stick to, but I thoroughly enjoyed it.
What a great book! The meat of the story-a serial killer is terrorizing beautiful Anna Maria Island in Florida-is brilliantly seasoned with hints of the heroine's troubled past and a touch of romance with the equally troubled police detective on the case. As side dishes, we are served a host of interesting characters and lots of local color. Then a hurricane comes along to violently stir the ingredients.
I particularly liked the way the paranormal elements were handled. There are enough hints about Anne's 'gift' to let the reader know this is more than just a good mystery. However, the paranormal aspects of the story never dominate the very human drama that is unfolding. And Anne's own reluctance to embrace her fate is presented so realistically-her denial is neither exaggerated nor too easily overcome-that it makes her unusual abilities quite believable.
The ending is satisfying but also whets the appetite for more. I hope we'll be hearing from Anne Serafini again.
