I love books that keep me guessing. I think that is why I enjoyed reading Chris Karlsen's Golden Chariot.Charlotte is excited. She could be on the verge of proving not only that Troy existed but that Hector and Paris existed. Her entire doctorate rides on that,but she has no idea what all is involved on this assignment. Her life could be lost as she finds herself a pawn in a much bigger game that welcomes death as a player.To be honest, the plot reminds me a Clive Cussler story which is a good thing. I really enjoy his books. I never knew what was going to happen next. That is another very good thing.Ms. Karlsen has very interesting characters that draw you in. At times their transition in their actions seemed abrupt, but it did not detract from the story. The plot was well laid out. I figured some things out ahead of time, but it didn't ruin the read.There is some language in this book. It's not bad, but enough that I should warn you. I don't see it as needless. It wasn't just thrown in there to make it more fashionable. It was used to explore the personalities of the characters.This is a book you need to check out if you like this genre. It has mystery, suspense, romance, and adventure. What I love about the romance part is that it wasn't the entire story. Ms. Karlsen didn't focus on just that. She wove it in expertly.Check this book out.Note: This book was provided as part of a book tour with no expectation of a positive review.
