1 post | 1 read | 1 to read
A coded journal. A buried treasure. A dangerous journey. In the early 1800s, as the Spanish surrender Florida to the United States government, Emily Bisset reunites with her estranged mother Simone to solve a family mystery and seek revenge on the man who abandoned them both: Confidence John. As they make their way to the southern coast, intending to enter the legendary poker game run by Emily’s con-man father, they encounter escaped slaves, Seminole warriors, Florida patriots, and Spanish missionaries — some friend, some foe, some both. Soon another mystery presents itself: who is the stranger that pursues them, and how does she know so much about their quest? Confidence John is a stand-alone novel by Harmony Reed. Fans of Daughter of Fortune and The Sisters Brothers will feel right at home with Confidence John.

The story sounded promising from the synopsis, but it fell flat. I couldn‘t understand half of what I read. I think the bones of the story are there it was just written in a really strange way. The author jumped around from one thing to another and then the ending was just really really anticlimactic. Parts of the book were really fantastic, but other parts were just blah. All in all I guess it just wasn‘t the type of story I could enjoy
