is a book lover who owns a bookshop in California. She
also loves adventure. One day, a mysterious man and his
companions enter her shop. Marco shows Lola an ancient
letter, giving details of a treasure she has been
searching for. Intrigued by the letter, Lola listens to
Marco. However, he has other plans. Kidnapping Lola,
they head off to Italy, on an outrageous treasure hunt.
However, Lola is to be married in two weeks to Eric.
After he receives a confusing text from Lola, he takes off
to Italy to find her. Together, they try to outwit Marco
on the hunt for the king's gold. An action packed, clue
seeking journey around Italy begins. Who will get to the
gold first? Who will survive the deadly places they must
look for clues? Will Lola and Eric get married? And who
is the mysterious man who is helping Lola? If you enjoy
action packed books, this is the one for you!
Opinion:
The King's Gold is certainly a book filled with lots of action.
However, I found the book to be a little unbelievable.
Lola and Eric are searching for a centuries' old treasure,
but they always seem to figure out the next clue the first
time! Their luck is always the best, with just minor
bumps along their road. For me, the book became a little
too predictable as I read along. The author certainly
knows the area and time period she is talking about, which
did add interest to the story. If you enjoy adventure
stories like Indiana Jones, this is the book for
you.
