#BookReview The Relic Hunter by David Leadbeater #Archaeology #NetGalley

The Relic Hunters - New Series by David Leadbeater ​I was given an advanced reader’s copy of The Relic Hunter by David Leadbeater via Thomas & Mercer courtesy of NetGalley. Although I have seen Mr. Leadbeater around social media, I have never actually read any of his work. As this was the first book in a new series, I thought I would give it and his writing a try. The following review is my own honest thoughts and opinions freely provided to you for your consideration.

A brief synopsis: Guy Bodie and his “family” are considered some of the best at what they do. They are successful at obtaining artifacts and getting paid for their efforts. The fact that what they do is considered illegal is the control mechanism that the CIA has exerted over them to assist with one of their cases. The potential threat to the world is great. Will their combined skill sets be enough to stop it?

My thoughts: While reading this, I was reminded of two of my favorite television shows Leverage and The Librarians. It was like the two shows combined into one. You have a group of thieves who have different skill sets and work well together to pull off jobs alongside trying to figure out the location of hidden artifacts from cryptic clues. I mention this to explain why I enjoyed the story so much. It was visual just as much as it was character driven.

To me, this book is worthy of 5 stars. If you enjoy Action, Adventure, Archaeology, Law Enforcement, and Military types of genres, and don't mind violence, adult language, or adult situations, then I think you’ll enjoy this book. It is scheduled to be available 21 June 2018 - Amazon time.
