A thrill ride of twists, turns, and romance at the same time. When I finished reading Driftless Gold, I was ready to read the next book in the series.</p><p> Bill, southwest Wisconsin</p><p><br></p><p>An interesting and captivating mystery set in La Crosse and surrounding southwestern Wisconsin. The story is centered around missing 1866 gold coins from Prairie du Chien, a couple of murders to cover up the recently discovered treasure, and a love story between two characters. The third-person perspective reveals the killer's side of the story. I am looking forward to the second book in the series based on the character Jim Higgins.</p><p> David, Eau Claire</p><p><br></p><p>I found Driftless Gold to be a very intriguing and enjoyable mystery with a little romance thrown in.
