Deathbed by Jason McIntyre

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


This is a wonderfully engrossing tale that kept me hooked from the start. There is a story within a story, and there seems to be a theme of connection running throughout about how everything and everyone is part of the bigger picture, each person's story making up the whole. Twelve-and-a-half year-old Farrah visits a market and buys a mystery box from quite a mysterious woman. Farrah is eager to share her find with her grandmother. Farrah has already opened the box and finds nothing of real interest but is sure that her gran will be able to tell her a story that will bring the box alive.

Deathbed is a story that thrills and entertains the reader with lots of intrigue, adventure, and a touch of horror. The descriptive quality of the writing is excellent. There is a lot of wisdom in the pages, with thought-provoking and memorable quotes. The great thing is, Dovetail Cove is a series of books by Jason McIntyre, which means the reader can take another trip to this fascinating place by reading another story in the series. I am definitely going to be visiting again soon.
