Search - Deep Trouble

I love Mary Connealy books for their humor and wackiness! This one was written in the same mode. It was a little slow at the beginning, but when the characters reached the Grand Canyon, it started moving. It was interesting reading about the awesome beauty of the place. I would recommend this book!

Shannon's father believed there was a city of gold and had coded maps showing the way. After his death, Shannon goes searching for this city to prove her father right. As so many times happens, the desire for gold leads to more trouble than Shannan can handle. She is left to die in a cave high on a cliff with no way down.

She is rescued by Gabe who wants nothing more than to visit his older brothers before he settles down on his ranch in Wyoming. Shannon talks him into continuing the search for treasure. Danger is soon on their trail.

I didn't enjoy this book as much as some others by this author. I just couldn't connect with Shannon. But the descriptions of the Grand Canyon were wonderful, and having never seen it myself, I could imagine seeing it for the first time as Shannon and Gabe. Standing in the shadows on the eastern side, watching the sunrise reflecting on the western side. Awesome!
