Reviews

[Linda Parkinson-Hardman · Rating 4 out of 5]

The Bronze Box is a novel that combines history and intrigue, travel guide and crime novel. It is a fast paced race to find an ancient bronze box which holds the key to secrets untold; and which, if they were to be told would undermine the security of the world in ways we can’t imagine. It is strong on action and the thriller style of writing means that readers are kept interested from the first page. It’s a great holiday read that will keep you entertained and most readers will be engaged with the story enough to overlook the writing errors that have crept in. I am looking forward to reading Amy’s next book.

I realise I am in Varna, Bulgaria, and it's year 1998. Expedition led by a British professor are working to unravel the real-life facts behind a dig site attributed to Old Europe's (as my favourite archeologist Maria Gimbutas calls it) Copper Age. The time of immence surge of achievements in human history: arts, crafts, metallurgy, changes in every day life...

As I follow Maria Gimbutas's life story, somehow it coinsided with the events in the book "The Bronze Box". Perilous experiences of a young striving woman archeologist in a proclaimed man's domain...
