Review

"History meets mystery in this twisty page-turning tale, a suspenseful journey over the beaches, through the woodlands, and across the decades on old Cape Cod. We all know there's gold on that sandy peninsula. Let Barbara Eppich Struna and her beloved sleuth, Nancy Caldwell, lead you to it in The Old Cape Map."-- William Martin, New York Times Bestselling authorCape Cod and December '41 "The Old Cape Map by Barbara Struna is a gem of a book. It's a mystery tale about the search for a long-lost stash of pirate gold. It has murder and mayhem and villains and more than one treasure map. But it is also a historical novel about family and friends, and how an act of kindness by an elderly man with a colorful past, changes the lives of two young girls and their descendants."Struna does a masterful job of weaving the stories of amateur sleuth Nancy Caldwell and her niece with those of an immigrant Hungarian family at the turn of the century, shifting easily between the quiet back roads of Cape Cod and the burgeoning industrial area around Central Massachusetts."In the process, we are drawn into the lives of these believable characters, root for them to overcome seemingly insurmountable obstacles, and cheer at their ultimate triumph."--Paul Kemprecos, New York Times Bestselling author

"You're sure to enjoy this ride from 1900 to present day with believable characters. The historical elements were accurate, and the immigrant Hungarian family, with all the trials and tribulations of people of that era, proves interesting. The ending hints at the next novel in the series. A great read."--Iris G. Leigh, author, Liza's Secrets
"This is Struna's fifth book in her Old Cape Series. In The Old Cape Map, as in all the others, the author weaves the reader from past to present and back again ever so gently, intertwining characters with one another as they try to untangle the web of intrigue that surrounds a long-lost map and its supposed treasure. Another page turner."--Anita A. Caruso, author, Brayden's Magical Series.
