Ancient Legacies Unleashed

I was looking for a book that would be entertaining and keep my interest - I found it with Ancient Legacies Unleashed. This is an excellent book to sit down with next to the fire with a cup of coffee, relax and read. Not only was it entertaining but the ties to ancient greek mythology are interesting and educational as well. I highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a murder mystery book with an interesting twist at the end!

Worth checking out!!!

An interesting plot, creatively mixing the old and the new. Three curious college students end up with more adventure than they were seeking when a college project becomes too real. The story holds your attention as you wander through the classics and the northern Atlanta suburbs building nicely to the surprise ending. A fun read.

Highly recommended

An educational as well as intriguing read. Mr. Beske skillfully weaves ancient Greek mythology into a modern-day crime scenario. His characters were believable, and his descriptions of the Atlanta area were accurate and helpful. I thoroughly enjoyed the book, and even read it twice! Hopefully, he will follow-up in the near future with another "who-dunnit" !

New Writer gets off to a good start

The book is easy to read but, not too easy. Descriptions of places in the story are accurate,interesting and add a great background to the story. The characters are interesting and real to the setting and events taking place at the time. The events all build up to a exciting conculsion. College students with an intrest in mysteries would enjoy and relate to this book very well.

Ancient Legacies Unleashed

I really enjoyed the book. What made the book notable was the tie in to ancient literature. I so enjoy being exposed to the Odyssey and the other greek writings. I truly couldn't put the book down. It held my attention to the very end.
