In an era where doom and gloom face us at every turn, A Sparkle of Silver is a heart-warming romantic mystery novel full of hope. Ben Thornton and Millie Sullivan are two down on their luck young adults working multiple jobs to care for others. Millie’s Grandma Joy has declining dementia and needs specialized (and expensive) care. Ben is doing everything he can to pay reparations to strangers his mother had swindled. Both have devoted themselves to their care-taking and, along the way, lost sight of themselves and the importance of having someone to turn to for yourself as well.

In a moment of lucidity, Grandma Joy mentions that she is “not her father’s daughter,” sending Millie on a treasure hunt and a search for her heritage at the Chateau, a grand estate where her great-grandmother had stayed during the summer of 1929 before the Great Depression hit. Millie soon meets Ben, who is working as a security guard, and offers to share the unidentified treasure if he helps her.

This twisty tale artfully blends past with present on the glamorous beach front Georgia property of the Chateau and will draw you in with its cast of likable characters. The used of mixed media as Ben and Millie discover the past through a series of letters, journals, and historical research adds to the intrigue. I highly recommend A Sparkle of Silver and I will be sure to look out for the next releases in the Georgia Coast Romance series.
