INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

“A rip-roaring page turner. A perfect read!” --Boston Globe

Meet the Pratt clan. Driven men. Determined women. Through six turbulent generations, they would pursue a lost Paul Revere treasure. And turn a family secret into an obsession that could destroy them. Here is the novel that launched William Martin’s astonishing literary career and became an instant bestseller. From the grit and romance of old Boston to exclusive - and dangerous - Back Bay today, this sweeping saga paints an unforgettable portrait of a powerful dynasty beset by the forces of history...and a heritage of greed, lust, murder and betrayal.

A cursed lost treasure.
Boston’s metamorphosis through the ages.
A families story told across generations.

If you are the type to enjoy reading books set in the locale that you are visiting, then you will enjoy this one.
Because a great deal of Boston’s history is told in the downtown area, including the Back Bay, you will have fun following the timeline in the story as it jumps from the 1700s into the 1970s.
The ending will surprise you!

I give it 4-4.5 stars

A fun read if you are visiting Boston…

Revisiting the first book I ever read cover to cover as a kid. Enjoyed it every bit as much this time around. Fun, historical fiction with excellent character development. Something fun to buzz through between heavier reads.

A fun read.

Loved the story idea for the mystery but found a rambling, disjointed story line that was not helped at all by the narrator. What a disappointment.

Good story idea, disappointing production.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

Worst Boston accents ever, and lazy research. He mispronounces names of towns and famous landmarks. Waltham…Quincy…he mangles everything and sucks at reading.

1 out of 5 stars.

Terrible narration
