Inheritance: Who Do You Think You Are? Ever wondered about your own family origins? How far back can you go? Josh MaCMaddock is about to discover a startling connection to a Celtic past he never knew about. Josh MacMaddock is a young Marketing Executive from New York. His life changes dramatically after he is caught up in an apparent drug related shoot-out and witnesses the murder of his girlfriend. He is unconvinced these events are random and experiences an overwhelming sense of unease. These tragic incidents coincide with the startling news he has inherited a valuable estate in Anglesey, the historic centre of Druidic learning in ancient Britain. As his Celtic lineage unfolds his part in the historic mission of an ancient order is revealed and so begins a terrifying journey into the past lives and forgotten enemies. “The letter that was to change my life was in a cream envelope: its British origin divulged by a couple of garish Royal Mail postage stamps only dignified by the regal head of Queen Elizabeth II. Who could be writing to me from Britain. A sense of foreboding washed over me; my stomach knotted in response. I couldn’t put my finger on it but I could feel the stirring of something dark in the deep recesses of my memory.” “The old religions with their sublime and ridiculous, their friendly and fiendish symbols did not drop from the blue, but were born of this human soul that dwells in us at this moment. All those things, their primal forms, live on in us and may at any time burst in upon us with annihilating force…………….” Carl Jung. Founder of Analytical Psychology (1875-1961)

An engaging Celtic mystery

This book was fun and refreshing. The story was engaging and kept you guessing as to what was going to happen. It sets up a story that seems as if it will be complex and unique.
I liked the main character as he seemed very real. But, I have to say that I didn't like Helen very much. She didn't seem to be fully developed as a character. She mainly served to help develop Josh, the main character.
I think I would have liked the book better if it were a little longer. It felt as if things were just getting started when the book ended. Having said that, I'm eager to read the next one to find out what happens.

A friend recommended this to me because she knew about my interest in celtic culture on account of my mother's side of the family. Well, I wasn't disappointed except to say the book lulled me into thinking it was an all action, modern day New York story despite the fact it said it wasn't. It starts off in New York with some pretty 'normal' killings which left me thinking where's this going but there's a creeping sense of something not being quite right and naturally enough things aren't as they seem. The main character has a heck of a lineage and plenty of baggage that comes with it, in other words he inherits a whole lot more than just a house and a stack of money.
The supernatural side of the story really takes off once 'Josh' actually gets to Wales and I loved this part of the book as things really start to unwind and he delves into Welsh and Celtic legends. I must confess I found the stuff about Spontaneous Human Combustion particularly creepy. I even liked the love interest secondary story which plays very nicely. There's a real sense of something building that's going to be nasty surprise and I'm interested to see how the celtic stuff continues to play out.
I read the book pretty quickly, actually too quickly , so I'm on the next one already!
