Secret in Seaport

So as to go on in the thanks serie, I would like to thank very much my writing friend Allison, from Allison The Writer, for the time we spent together during our meeting and for dedicating me this copy of her "debut novelette, Secret in Seaport:
 
Nice!!
 
 
Well, this time I won't do a review of it, but I have to say, maybe it "isn't her best writing", but I kinda have enjoyed it. Anyway, all of us writers know we can't dash a damn good book at our very beginning... Myself I find that my writing sucks during those days.
Back to the novelette, it has many good aspects, such as the main characters and the suspense due to their lives on the road and the fact their father is never home, the suspense and mystery due to the mansion, treasure hunt and disappearing objects... The end isn't the one I had imagined and it seemed a bit weird and flicked-on-the-page to me, but this hasn't prevent me from appreciating the story. And, finally, I find it kinda well-written for a debut novelette - even though I am not a specialist in the matter - others could have made worse.
