Description
Some secrets are better left buried…
The serenity of Lewis Cole’s day-to-day life is shattered when his friend, eccentric retiree Jon Ericson, calls to tell him of an amazing discovery—he has unearthed evidence of Vikings in their town over a thousand years ago. Racing to see the breakthrough in person, Lewis arrives to find the unthinkable—Ericson’s dead body…and no trace of the Viking artifacts.
Pulled into the eye of the storm, Lewis is determined to investigate every person in Ericson’s orbit who may have had a motive to murder. Was it Ericson's estranged brother with a criminal past in stolen antiques? Could it be a disgruntled local envious of Ericson's success? Or a shadowy figure willing to kill to keep the significant archaeological find hidden?
Guided by an unwavering resolve for justice, Lewis pledges to avenge his friend's death, recover the stolen Viking artifacts, and honor Ericson's memory…even if it means putting his own life at risk.
Buried Dreams, the fifth novel in New York Times bestselling author Brendan DuBois’ Lewis Cole series, is a captivating crime thriller perfect for fans of James Patterson and Michael Connelly.

Buried Dreams is another book in the Lewis Cole series that is wonderfully entertaining. Lewis has a quirky, fun mystery solving technique that can often be quite unorthodox but is very effective at uncovering the solution. A quick, delightful read!
Thanks to NetGalley and Severn River Publishing for the opportunity to read this ARC.

Fans of Lewis Cole are in for another treat as Tyler, New Hampshire’s columnist, who does very little writing, is off on another adventure. His past remains rather unclear, and his relationship with his usual sidekicks continues to be unusual. But his determination to find out what happened to his friend once again reveals his dogged determination. Watch out, bad guys.

I'm a fan of Brendan DuBois's Lewis Cole series, but BURIED DREAMS was a bit of a stumble. The beginning was difficult to get through, written in a series of present moments and flashbacks, and the stakes and motivations of the characters were often questionable. When the story finally reached the climax, multiple moments in the ending felt like deus ex machina (even though Lewis didn't even solve the mystery). Still, Lewis is a likable character, as is Felix, and they carried the book enough to get me to the next one.
