The Oak Island Affair

By Jane Bow

Vanessa, a freelance writer who grew up in Spain, is † fleeing the pain of an unravelling relationship when she goes to her grandmother's house on Canada's east coast, near Oak Island. Her discovery of a 400-year-old diary written by a failed Spanish Dominican monk rekindles her obsession with an international, multi-million dollar treasure hunt that has drawn investors, including Franklin D. Roosevelt, from Canada, the United States, and Europe for more than two hundred years. Vanessa's arrival at a new solution to the mystery, by learning how to see beyond the barriers of reason, plunges her into an underworld from which there is no turning back. The rules that run the surface world do not apply.

The Oak Island Affair

As I try and obtain every book or piece of information relative to Oak Island for my research, I naturally bought this book even though it is a fictionally based story line overlayed by the factual Oak Island. I found the book to be generally well written, with a plausible story line, and noted only minor editing mistakes and a few misspellings which somehow got past the editing process. On the whole, it is worth buying as it will give you an entertaining afternoon read. Aside from the fictional story, there were one or two items regarding the Oak Island history that I had not read anywhere else before, and would be curious to know how the author came by that information.
