Uncovering the past can lead to an unexpected future . . .
Ninety years ago, Millie Sullivan's great-grandmother was a guest at oil tycoon Howard Dawkins' palatial estate on the shore of St. Simons Island, Georgia. Now, Millie plays a 1920s-era guest during tours of the same manor. But when her grandmother suggests that there is a lost diary containing the location of a hidden treasure on the estate, along with the true identity of Millie's great-grandfather, Millie sets out to find the truth of her heritage--and the fortune that might be hers. When security guard Ben Thornton discovers her snooping in the estate's private library, he threatens to have her fired. But her story seems almost too ludicrous to be fiction, and her offer to split the treasure is too tempting to pass up . . .
Get ready for a romantic escapade through dark halls and dusty corners that will have you holding your breath and sighing with delight as two charming characters get caught up in the adventure of uncovering the past and finding their way to an unexpected future.

My thoughts: A SPARKLE OF SILVER is seriously a romance that lives up to it's (high) expectations. I went into this with hopes that might've been a little dashed when someone told me their opinion of the book. Multiple time periods--I'm not even sure what that's called. But it turned that reader off. Okay, yes, there are sort of multiple time periods. The journal entries are in Millie's great grandmother's point of view, but they are journal entries. Not really point of view characters.
I fell in love with Millie. And Ben. And Grandma Joy. And George. And even Ruth though I wanted to shake her a time or two. And I despised the uncaring nursing home administrator, but she is so true to form.
Seriously, A SPARKLE OF SILVER has: a murder mystery, a journal, a chateau, the 1920s, two romances, buried treasure, and it's set on St. Simon's Island! Oh, and the faith messages. Wow. Just wow.
This is what I imagine the estate might have looked like.
Ms. Johnson has outdone herself once again. I absolutely *loved* this book and am eagerly waiting the next one in the series.
Don't miss A SPARKLE OF SILVER. This is a can't put down type of book.
I was given a copy free. All opinions are my own.

A Sparkle of Silver sounds like a book I would enjoy with the journal entries of days goneby.
