Bridge Of Gold

Bridge of Gold by Kimberley Woodhouse is the third novel in Doors to the Past series. I thought Bridge of Gold was well-written with developed characters. It is a time slip novel told from two time periods and from multiple points of view. It can be confusing in the beginning until you adjust (learn the characters). I like that we also get the villains point-of-view in both time periods. It makes the story more intriguing, and I like figuring out the identity of the bad guy. The author did her research for this book. She captured the 1930s and the construction of the Golden Gate Bridge. It was interesting learning what went into making this beautiful and lengthy bridge. The divers had their work cut out for them with the shifting currents and steep drop off. I loved the addition of a sunken ship with treasure. I like how the author tied the past and present together with a satisfying conclusion. I appreciate it when the author makes sure that there are no loose ends. I also liked how faith was incorporated into the story. I enjoyed the descriptions of San Francisco along with those below water. The authors word imagery allowed me to imagine seeing the treasure ship for the first time along with feeling the excitement. The romances were clean and the historical one was sweet. The author expertly weaves together the past and present into one pleasing tale. Each novel in the Doors to the Past series can be read on its own. Bridge of Gold is a compelling novel with greed, murder, a buried ship, sought after treasure, faith, and love.

MY THOUGHTS ON THIS BOOK

I really enjoyed reading this book. First of all I find it really special that they author names one of the couples in Bridge of Gold after her own daughter and son-in-law. This is a really nicely written split time novel. I enjoyed getting to know these well crafted characters and especially Steven and Kayla. The dual stories fit together well as the story goes back and forth between the ages. I love the rage with the split time stories these days but If they are not written well, the story is not so good. But this one is perfectly written. Kimberly Woodhouse does a marvelous job writing this story and she also does an amazing job with the details of the story. A lot if research has to have done in order to write such details and I appreciate Woodhouse for her dedicated work in this book.

This is a book everyone can enjoy. It covers a lot, historical and contemporary, mystery, suspense, romance, faith and a whole lot more. I encourage you to check this book out. You will sure love it.!
