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.

Bridge of Gold by Kimberley Woodhouse is Historical Fiction mystery, thriller adventure and romance. This story is told in a dual time format and revolves around the building of the Golden Gate Bridge. There are decades of mystery, evil, murder and other crimes all based on greed. The story has interesting details of archeology, diving, building and above all faith in God through all difficulties. I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own. I appreciate the opportunity and thank the author and publisher for allowing me to read, enjoy and review this book. 4 Stars

BRIDGE OF GOLD by Kimberley Woodhouse This is a dual timeline book, you follow several people through events beginning with the construction of the Golden Gate Bridge in 1933 and following others in the present time. It's a bit of a mystery, you think the book will go one way and it goes another. There's a lot of folklore about ships of gold from the 1850s being lost in the water channel beneath the Golden Gate Bridge, with dedicated treasure hunters struggling to see if the rumors are true. Steven, a bridge restorer, has found something unique in the water under the bridge in the present time. Kayla, an underwater archeologist is called in to consult. They are given journals from the earlier time when the bridge was under construction, both of them finding the history intriguing while finding the hints about the rumored gold exciting, but not necessary or essential to their work. Highly recommend it to anyone who likes well-written mysteries, history, inspirational, treasure novels, or a little romance in their novels.
