The Pandora Box is a well written inspirational mystery. Great plot and well developed characters. I recommend to readers who enjoy a good mystery.

This was a fast paced adventure novel that I didn’t want to put down. In the spirit of her hero, Nellie Bly – America’s pioneer female journalist, D.J. Parker is up for adventure in the pursuit of a good story. But somehow things become personal when a man that she hopes to help dies and leave her a treasure beyond her wildest dreams…if she can only find it.

D.J. is a lovable, but wildly impulsive character, which lands her in more than one tight place. Her heart is good, but her decisions don’t always follow her good intentions. So, when she starts off on a wild treasure hunt she ends up roping her best friend into the mix and teaming up with complete strangers as the lure of riches grows to outweigh common sense. A fast paced and exciting adventure follows. My only real disappointment was to find out that there aren’t more D.J stories out there waiting to be read.
