Customer Reviews

If you liked Di Vinci code, you love this! It's cleaner but just as moving!

I love love loved, this book and I have since read 3 other books by this author! I'm now waiting for the next book in the pedrigree series! Wow! What away for an author to bloom later in life, this just proves that life really does begin once your over 50! Dear author, Keep writing and I'll keep reading!

Best Vandagriff yet!

I really liked this book! It clipped along at a fast pace, was hard to put down, and the characters were endearing. It's been six months since I read it, and one of the characters is still on my mind. This is definitely her best yet.

A Great Welsh Romp!!!!

Since I am good friends with GG, I was sent an advanced copy from Deseret to read and review and since I am of Welsh descent and am an avid Genealogist, I loved this thriller. It is a two mystery in one and was able to figure the first one out, but the one who murdered Maren's sister, was a toughie and surprising at the end and was a sad ending, but was inevitable. I rather enjoyed the short chapters like Mary Higgins Clark. I enjoyed the angle of believing that King Arthur is real with the hidden manuscript. I recommend this novel with lots of twists and turns to anyone that loves to read mysteries ala Agatha Christie and Clark.

The Arthurian Omen

Arthurian Omen I truly enjoyed this book. It was suspensful from the beginning to the end. Yes, twists and turns, lots of characters and many love interests, but it adds to the enjoyment of the storyline. In my minds eye I was able to travel along with the heroine through the lush Welsh countryside, feel the anguish of the death of her sister and the kidnapping of a loved one. The surprise ending was just that, unexpected. I believe that G.G. Vandagriff might be giving Mary Higgins Clark a run for her money when it comes to writing suspense and mystery novels. I'd like to see a few more mystery novels by G.G. Vandagriff. She has talent and imagination. In my estimation the book could have been a bit longer with more indepth study of the Arthur manuscript, however, as it is, it's a good read, it's fast and it's exciting. I have recommended it to many of my friends who are mystery/suspense readers. No one has yet been disappointed.

GG Vandagriff's best mystery ever

The Arthurian Omen is beautifully written with so many descriptive passages that the reader will feel they are actually viewing the beautiful Welsh countryside. This mystery will keep your attention as you try to connect all of the incredible plots that are going on at the same time. As you read the suspense of drug smuggling, kidnapping, murder, and finding the priceless parchment that may prove or disprove the reality of King Arthur, you will think you have this story figured out. But, you better wait for the very last page. The mystery is so well written that you, the reader, will have to wait for that very last page to find out which characters (and there are many) kidnapped, smuggled, and murdered. I loved the book and with mystery writing similar to Mary Higgins Clark (one of my all time favorite writers), this book will keep you captivated to the very end.
