1897 A Mark Sutherland Adventure (Mark Sutherland Adventures Book #1) by Kimberly Mullins – Review by Angela Hayes

1897 A Mark Sutherland Adventure by Kimberly Mullins
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

4 Stars

1897 by Kimberly Mullins is an intriguing adventure story set in the late 1800’s. The historical detailing, as expected from Ms. Mullins, was on point, her descriptions and attention to detail really setting the scene for her story.
I have loved reading the Notebook Mysteries series, so when I saw that this was being released, I was excited to find out what it would contain. Even though this is a standalone story, it does connect to the Notebook Mysteries series in a small way, as our MC here has ties with Emma who is the MC of the Notebook series. I thought that small detail added an extra element of interest to the story, for me.
Mark Sutherland is an intrepid reporter travelling to the Yukon to report on the gold rush there. But this novel is beautifully layered, combining multiple threads which Ms. Mullins has deftly woven into a rich and complex production. Mark’s journey is full of harrowing moments, harsh conditions, mystery, tension, dramatic developments, challenges, family, friendship, hope, resilience, determination, courage, danger, agendas, and even a little romance. His introspective inner dialogue adding an extra facet to the storyline too.
The ending of this book was sweet, and left room for more adventures in the future.
Looking forward to more from Ms. Mullins, soon.
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Kimberly Mullins!
