💰 Fenella and Juan get 24 hours advanced start because their Uncle knew the others are cunning and unscrupulous. He was right. Just after first treasure was found, one of the two was murdered. So now, the treasure hunt turned to a dangerous game.
💰 To be honest, this is a disappointment for me. Judging from the synopsis, I thought it would be a proper, albeit short, treasure hunt with a murder. In reality, there was a hunt, but the readers didn't know what's going on most of the time. After getting a clue in rhyme, for instance, it would run like this: "I think it's located at (...). Then they went to the spot, searching for a while, and then "I found it! Let's go to the next clue". Just like that, and the readers were not involved in the searching at all. It read like a news about a treasure hunt, not a story.

I find that sometimes her short stories are just almost boring, in a way. That's so weird to say, but I get the feeling sometimes she wrote them because they needed to be written for a deadline, not necessarily because they were inspiring. I could be wrong, but I find that I only enjoy maybe 2/3 of her short stories.
ReplyDeleteYes, I felt that way too sometimes. Only on rare occasions that her short stories felt really wholesome.
