Camille Abernathy ignored rumors of The Liar’s Treasure and her family’s connection to it . . . until someone put a target on her daughter’s back. Growing up in New Orleans, such tall tales were as common as beignets and gumbo. But when Camille’s teenage daughter, Cass, posts pictures of a centuries-old diary her uncle gave her, she unwittingly attracts dozens of treasure hunting fanatics who are convinced Cass and the diary can lead them to a valuable cache.

To keep her daughter safe, Camille enlists the help of Speranza, a secret society always ready to help women in need. Together, they set out on a globe-trotting journey to find The Liar’s Treasure while also investigating a suspicious death related to Camille’s childhood friend. The deeper they dig, the more they suspect it’s all connected.

Chasing clues from New Orleans to Italy to the Bahamas, Camille and her friends receive unexpected assistance—and unwanted competition—from a handsome treasure hunter from Camille’s past. Then Cass is kidnapped, and finding the treasure truly becomes a matter of life and death.

Get ready for the adventure of a lifetime in this winning novel by Connie Mann. The second installment in the Speranza Team series is just as good as the first, and I didn’t want to sleep. I kept telling myself, just one more page—page after page.

This treasure hunt is perfect, and had me reminiscing about my childhood when I dreamed of finding the X that marked the spot, and having adventures far from home.

Camille and her daughter, Cass, are hunting for a family heirloom that just might lead them to the Liar’s Treasure, if it doesn’t lead them into trouble first. If they can survive traveling the globe, competing with over zealous treasure hunters, and uncover the clues, they might just find what they’re looking for.

As usual, this book is tightly plotted with interesting characters that pull you right into the action with them, and I like the mother/daughter dynamic between Camille and Cass. There’s something for everyone with intrigue, suspense, and danger, but there may be a little romance along the way.

Connie Mann is a go to author for me, and I love, love, love this series. An enthusiastic five stars! I highly recommend it.

I was given a copy courtesy of Tyndale Fiction through Interviews & Reviews via NetGalley. This is my honest opinion of the book.
