A Racing Heart

Amulet Of Death by Suzanne Gilchrist is an exciting dual timeline novel and the first book in the A Bindarra Creek Mystery series. It was a compulsive read.

The book is mainly set in present day but has excerpts and letters dating back to World War I as a family of three sons traveled from Australia to fight in the war. The two time periods are linked as a present day character is writing a history of the area.

Hidden in a dusty attic were artefacts from years ago. Greedy treasure hunters are attracted to the area as their black hearts seek the satisfaction of finding ancient affects.

We cannot always control what happens to us but we can control our response. A character heading the wrong way in life needs to u-turn before life spirals out of control.
