A big thank you to Grove Atlantic and Netgalley for giving me early access to this book to review.
I want to start out by saying that I am probably biased in my love for this novel. I can't help but love something that is set in my home province and filled with characters who I feel like I've met before.
The Treasure Hunters Club follows three different POV; Dandy, a teen who recently lost her grandfather and has gotten a invitation from him to join a local historical group; Peter, the long lost grandson of one of Maple Bay's wealthier residents; and Cass, a stranger who is staying in town for a year to dog sit. All three of these characters get drawn into the hunt for the long lost pirate treasure. Through their search the uncover the deep secrets of the town and its residents.
I loved this book on so many levels. The writing was phenomenal and engaging. The characters were all so lively and unique from each other. They all seemed to have their own motivations. I really loved the twists and turns in the novel. There was one point where I said outload "well, I didn't see that coming". I know that feelings not for everyone, but the reveal was done so well.
I would highly recommend this book. It the perfect summer/early fall read. Just mysterious enough.
