About the Book

A friend’s deception. A family’s dilemma.

While cataloguing looted antiquities in Brussels, archaeologist Grace Madison discovers that her daughter has vanished in France, and her son’s bride has been attacked in Switzerland. After the Madisons unearth a relic whose taproot pierces the Ancient Near East, they realize that before they can save themselves, they must rescue an old friend. If he’ll let them.

They sacrifice hearts and lives in a race against eternity on a four-thousand-year-old trail crossing three continents.

Because choosing what’s right is all that’s left.

My Review

I received a free copy of this book for an honest review.

The Brothers’ Keepers is the second book about the Madison family. I liked the first book, When Camels Fly, so I was looking forward to reading this one.

I like the characters in these books. There are some interesting family dynamics. And the main character, Grace, is an amazing woman and an amazing mom.

This book is full of suspense just like the first one. It starts with Grace’s daughter, Maggie, going missing and the family is afraid she’s been kidnapped again. They all get together to look for her and that is just the beginning of a new adventure that includes espionage and intrigue. There’s also some interesting history along the way.

Although this story is good overall, NLB Horton’s writing style is different and I find it a little difficult to follow at times. It took me a little longer to read than it normally would.

Anyone who enjoys action or international suspense novels should like The Brothers’ Keepers but it would be best to read When Camels Fly first to avoid some confusion.
