I'm running out of things to say about these books. I'm a fan. Kennedy can't write fast enough for me.The ordeal of Pompeii spread throughout the book is interesting. It didn't bother me to have the narrative bouncing between the past and the present. I would, however, like to read the historical part straight through. It was a good story.The present has the usual cast of characters. There is jumping between the present and the near past in the "modern" story. I didn't find that confusing either.An old goat herder finds a cache of gold. Naturally word gets out. And it's all down hill and up hill from there with a happy ending. Maybe. With James and Laura's history, I can't help but think something is going to interfere. But that's for the next book.New readers, start with book 1. Not necessarily because you have to, but because you'll want to. The characters are real, and as one reviewer pointed out, they become old friends. The action is non-stop. The stories are well thought out and well written.
