Three Sisters Island Mysteries, Book 1

De: Casi McLean

Narrado por: Amanda Stribling

Searching for antiques in the North Georgia foothills, the Holloway sisters never expected to discover a bony hand protruding through the ground—or an antique watch that would spiral them through time.

From USA Today, Amazon best-selling author Casi McLean comes another gripping time-travel mystery to keep you hugging the edge of your seat.

To Raine Holloway, the idea of time travel existed only in fiction—until her antique shop search leads her to Abingdon Manor, an abandoned property in the North Georgia foothills. When the old barn loft collapses beneath her feet, the fall reveals an antique watch that changes Raine’s life forever. Determined to discover the owner of a skeletal hand, Raine and her sisters refuse to accept the police chief’s lack of interest in the cold case. They continue to investigate, unaware the watch will assist them by spinning them through time to 1960.

Can Raine and her two sisters unravel the secret of an antique watch’s power, solve the murder, and find their way home—before Raine becomes the victim buried at Abingdon Manor?

Time travel, a solid mystery, and great characters

I enjoyed going back to Lake Lanier in another time travel mystery by Casi McLean. In this one, the Holloway sisters-Raine, Meadow, and Summer-are searching for relics in the North Georgia foothills when they discover an odd watch and a skeletal hand. While examining the watch they transport themselves to Three Sisters Island in Lake Lanier in 1960. There they meet a woman who claims to have invented the chronometer and warns them not to change the course of history. This interesting mystery presents time travel in a very believable manner. There is no time machine or mystical portal but a rather scientific chronometer. It reminded me somewhat of the TV series Timeless where the characters prepared for their travel to make sure they had the proper clothing and money. Since the show the time Tunnel in the late 1960s I have been fascinated by the possibility of time travel. I love seeing history presented in this manner. I look forward to the next 2 books in this series. Thanks to the author for giving me a copy of the audiobook. Amanda Stribling did a good job with the narration and presented the sisters in a believable fashion.

The attention to detail in the time travel.... the sisters stop to research and make a plan

"Timeless Secrets" Three Sisters Island Mysteries, Book 1 by Casi McLean, narrated by Amanda Stribling is an intriguin, cozy, time travel mystery adventure with well-developed characters, historical intrigue, and an engaging plot.

Raine, Summer, and Meadow Holloway start the story searching for antiques in the North Georgia foothills which leads them to finding a mystery to be solved and a watch that would slip the sisters through
time to solve their mystery.

What I enjoyed the most about the story was how the sisters dialog played off of each other and how the sisters gained confidence in their abilities as investigators. I am looking forward to reading the next book, and already have it cued up for my next book to listen to in audible.

Three sisters exploring time travel

Book 1 of an innocent enjoyable time travel series. While it seems to target a young audience, it is great reading for all ages. If listening to the book, the reader reads too fast, especially in the beginning.

These three sisters are inseparable and on their own. Raine has an antique shop and fills it with timeless treasures she finds in several ways. Mostly the three of them look on the beach, in old caves, or as they go exploring.

This wonderful find is an antique watch-looking device that lights up and can be programmed and give them hologram images of happenings in the past. At the same time they find the watch they also find a shallow grave with bones.

Once they accidentally go back to 1960, they begin an adventure of unraveling the mystery of the bones, why the watch sent them back to this era, where the gold they find came from, etc.

Timeless Secrets, Raine is an adventurous, clean mystery. Fun and at times fast-moving. There are twists and turns you don’t expect as well.

Fun read with lots of history

This is the first book in this series and it was enjoyable. You get to know the three sisters and how they came about with their time travels. Raine unravels the secret of an antique watch while going back in time to 1960 to solve a murder. I listened to the audio version of this book and the narrator, Amanda Stribling was really good. I enjoyed listening to her while she brought me into the story. There was a lot of history involved that kept the story entertaining. I learned a lot about what took place in 1960. Timeless Secrets was a fascinating time travel suspense book that kept me wanting more. Looking forward to reading book two.

Sisters, book 1

Raine, Summer, and Meadow are sisters. They accidentally find a skeleton and a mysterious watch, which can send them through time. The watch seems to have a reason for when and where they are sent. I love time travel stories. This was a well written short mystery. I feel I finished the story too soon, and was eager to get started on book two of the series. The narration was well done. I received a free copy of this audiobook and am voluntarily leaving my review.
