All’s Well That Ends is a suspense novel by Maggie McChristie. Freelance writer and author, Jack Dunn has writers’ block. Hoping to reunite with his muse, he and his wife Marty join the treasure hunt that eccentric millionaire Leland Smith has devised. Jack has a knack for finding things, but the clues from the cryptic poem are challenging. But Jack loves a challenge. What the couple hadn’t expected was encountering danger when they hired Clark Kent to be their guide. Jack begins to have doubts about finding the treasure, but his curiosity will not disappear. Who knew finding a treasure chest would make a person appreciate the life they have, and value their loved ones even more? Who knew it could be so dangerous too.

“The soul is a treasure chest; hidden inside of it are priceless jewels.” No-one knows that better than Jack because of what he has endured. He has a dry sense of wit that makes him stand out as the perfect narrator in most of the story. He and Marty make a great couple and I love the quotes from books and noteworthy persons that they frequently use in their conversations. All’s Well That Ends by Maggie McChristie has the right amount of suspense to engage a reader. The poem is cleverly written and the story meaningful in many ways. If you appreciate treasure hunting tales like me, then All’s Well That Ends is a light suspense novel you will certainly enjoy with coffee.

All’s Well That Ends by Maggie McChristie takes you on an adventure as two treasure hunters take their chance on a quest that reaps a fortune. Jack and Marty were made for each other. They felt life did not start until they met. Their life is complete, but Jack is adventurous and has always been great at finding things. He views this quest of finding a buried treasure as a challenge to test his skills. Martha (Marty) encourages Jack as he pursues this aim, but it changes lives because of this one decision. Jack and Marty meet many new people on their path, but someone isn’t happy about the progress they are making. Would this unknown person be willing to kill for the gold?
 
For a debut novel, All’s Well That Ends is intriguing. Maggie McChristie creates an appealing plot and then adds characters that bring this book to life. The principal characters, Jack and Marty, work well together, but it is their quirky ways that are the core essence of the story. The action keeps coming, even after you wonder how much more Jack and Marty can take. I found the sweet spot Jack had for a little girl endearing. Kyp’s big personality kept all the adults on their toes. After the story unfolded, I was pleased with how this novel ended and believe I will be reminded of it often. Overall, this modern-day treasure hunt is memorable. McChristie has a way of bringing her characters to life and taking you on their adventure. She has many avenues she could build off this book.
