Landis Wade, the Author of “Deadly Gold Rush” “ An Indie Retirement Mystery” has written and an edgy, suspenseful and captivating novel. The Genres for this novel are: Mystery, Thriller, Suspense, Humor, Historical Fiction, and Adventure with a dusting of Romance. I am thrilled to discover the Historical reference to the real Carolina Gold Rush many years before. The author vividly describes the scenery. the plot, and the colorful and dramatic characters. The characters can be described as complex, complicated, and flawed. There are betrayals, dark secrets, mystery, suspense, danger, adventure, twists and turns, and a dead body to start the story with. The story takes place in an independent living community, where the most resourceful characters are trying to solve a crime. A dead body is found in the basement of a house, with a knife in the victim’s back. The body is covered in gold coins. The kitchen floor has collapsed from the weight of the coins in Harriet Keaton’s home. Harriet’s twin brother Joey had been released from jail, but is now the prime suspect blamed for this murder. Joey claims he didn’t do this, but refuses to say who did. One of the residents, Craig Travail, a semi-retired attorney, and Yeager Alexander, the resident trouble maker and “yenta” join Harriet in finding the true killer. When it seems that some of the coins are not real, the three friends have to discover what exactly is going on? I enjoyed this intriguing and entertaining novel and highly recommend it.
