Narrative Concering Books The Secret Crown (Payne & Jones #6)

From the mountains of Bavaria to the secret tunnels under King Ludwig II's castles, no one is safe when they search for the Secret Crown.

Hidden among the crates in a recently discovered World War II bunker are documents stamped with an elaborate black swan, the insignia of the murdered King Ludwig II. According to legend, Ludwig stockpiled a massive treasure in the years before his death, a cache of gold and jewels that would finance the construction of the largest castle of all time. But in the years since his death, no one has found any evidence that Ludwig had hidden anything. Until now.

Jonathon Payne and David Jones are pulled into the mystery by a colleague of theirs, a former supply sergeant in the U.S. military who asks them to investigate. They agree to help and quickly find themselves in a life-or-death struggle to uncover the truth about Ludwig's murder and his mythical treasure.

Notice Epithetical Books The Secret Crown (Payne & Jones #6)
I had a really hard time digesting the banter between the two characters Jones and Payne. The immature, high-school level joking in a constant, three-jokes-too-far stream killed the action. No one jokes during a firefight, regardless of your skill level as a soldier. It removed me from the action like a buzzing fly removes me from a tranquil picnic. The historical aspect of the story was interesting (though I can't speak on how factual the information is) and the action sequences were fun. Less

77 Pages in and I have to quit! I can not stand one more bad, sexist, frat-boy joke. The first 50 pages went no where. It was almost as if the first chaper was re-written 9 different ways for the first 9 chapters. Too drawn out. I really wanted to like this story, but after reading so many words soaked in maple syrup and stuck to the pages arranged to look like proper homework after a night of binge drinking, I decided I would rather pay hommage to the porcelin god than finish this crap.

I liked this book. It was a fun fun treasure hunt with a history lesson woven into the story.

Good book for all History mix treasure hunt lovers.

Enjoyed the adventure with Payne and Jones .

Highly unrealistic with some errors too (e.g. How military radios work) although then again maybe my knowledge is outdated. Don't take it as a serious novel- while it purports to have history at its core. It's really more of an action novel - lots of gun battles, heroes that never make mistakes and can't be defeated or have a moment of self doubt, but nevertheless a fast paced, never-a-dull-moment kind of book.

This was a confusing book. Not because the plot line, or the characters, were confusing, but because it was so damned hard to get into. Indeed, despite it being a brilliant book from about 150 pages onwards, I have come out of this book thinking a lot less of Kuzneski. Still, an entertaining book, and well worth the read. Three Stars. I haven't actually written a review for any of the previous books due to the fact that I read them before I joined Goodreads. I will eventually write them, when I
