4 1/2 Stars...A Satisfying Wrap-Up

My wife and I read Martinusen's "Winter Passing" and "Blue Night," thoroughly enjoying the elements of suspense, romance, and history. With high hopes, I picked up "North of Tomorrow." Martinusen crafts a stand-alone story, but for those who've read the previous novels, there is much to find that is familiar and intriguing. This time around, we view WWII history through the eyes of Amanda, on assignment with a television show. She is not only fighting for her job, she's fighting to discover the truth of her family's heritage. What she finds will rock her world and challenge her beliefs. Spliced between Amanda's story, we find scenes with a Mrs. Delsig, an elderly woman with secrets of her own, including information about the long-lost, valuable Empress Brooch. This is where "North of Tomorrow" ties in with the previous books, and it makes for some suspenseful moments. In general, this book has less suspense and less romance than the others, but it creates a moving story of family and generations. Martinusen handles the different age groups with masterful ease. If you've read Martinusen's "Winter Passing" and "Blue Night," you MUST cap it off with this satisfying wrap-up. If you haven't, I challenge you to spend some time in the mystery-wrapped stories of this wonderful writer.

Another hit for Cindy McCormick Martinusen

Once again, Cindy has written a compelling book in this, the third in the Winter Passing Trilogy. North of Tomorrow's protagonist, Amanda Rivens, hopes to find information about her grandparents while also attempting to solve the mystery of the priceless Empress Brooch. Her adventures keep one turning the pages until the satisfying conclusion. I enjoyed Cindy's first two books so much, I was NOT going to miss this one. And I was right...it was a great read. If you haven't read either of the previous books, Winter Passing and Blue Night, I highly recommend them. Looking forward to Cindy's next book - it is destined to be a page-turner, too!
