The Golden Unicorn

The Golden Unicorn is another winner of suspense from Whitney. As always, there are lots of interesting and intriguing characters that keep the reader guessing as the pages are turning. I read this book in 2 nights because I literally could not put it down! The Golden Unicorn's appeal is that it reads like a movie. It's almost as if you're there entranced in the story and you want to call out to Courtney Marsh and say..."Watch out! They're after you!" A truly wonderful suspenseful mystery.

Filled with shocking surprises!

Courtney Marsh, adopted as a child, seems to have it all. What else could a beautiful successful woman possibly want? Miss Marsh wants to know who her real parents are. Against all discouragement this determined lady leaves New York and goes to East Hampton looking for the startling unbelievable truth. You won't get bored reading THE GOLDEN UNICORN. There are unexpected turns in this book that will keep you interested. Even though information about her adoption was meant to be kept a secret, throughout the whole book you learn new and exiting things about the past. Phyllis A. Whitney wrote an unpredictable book. I can't count the many times I thought I knew what was going to happen next, and was wrong. Filled with thoughts and emotion it kept me awake and wanting more.
