Book Description

March 1, 2012

Kelsey Tate comes from sturdy stock. Her great-grandmother Adele endured the sinking of Titanic and made it safely to America, where she not only survived but thrived. Generations later, Kelsey works for the firm Adele founded nearly 100 years ago.

Now facing a hostile takeover, the firm's origins are challenged when new facts emerge about Adele's actions on the night Titanic sank. Kelsey tries to defend the company and the great-grandmother she has long admired, but the stakes are raised when Kelsey's boss is murdered and her own life threatened. Forced to seek help from Cole Thornton, a man Kelsey once loved--and lost, thanks to her success-at-all-costs mentality--she pursues mysteries both past and present. Aided by Cole and strengthened by the faith she'd all but forgotten in her climb up the corporate ladder, Kelsey races the clock to defend her family legacy, her livelihood, and ultimately her life.

5.0 out of 5 stars This story didn't sink! March 15, 2012
Format:Paperback
Review Summary: As we come up to the 100 year anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic I was afraid this story might be a cheesy story. I should have known Mindy Starns Clark would never do cheesy!! This story is a wonderful tale of Adele Brennan, her fateful trip on the Titanic and her life in America working in a man's world. It is also the story of her great granddaughter, Kelsey Tate, as she follows in Adele's footsteps as a strong and smart business woman. This is a story of successes, failures, death, deception and love.

Digging Deeper: The author weaves the story from two vantage points, Adele in 1912 as she journeys to America with her cousin and uncle on the Titanic and in the modern day with Kelsey as she searches for the truth about her Great Grandmother's identity and the death of her beloved mentor. For Kelsey this journey leads to much more than she expects, including facing the truth of her past actions and what is truly important in life.

The story moves at a great pace and I found myself sucked into the story from the opening pages. The storyline is solid with the interplay between characters in both timelines is interesting and believable. The authors did an excellent job of keeping me guessing on who Kelsey could really trust. The story also had a wonderful ending that was incredibly touching. Of course, I can't tell you what it was, but it was very, very good.

Recommendations: If you've read and enjoyed Mindy's other books this is the best one since she finished The Million Dollar series. If you are a history buff of the Titanic you should enjoy it. If you are looking for a story that deals with investment firms with death and mystery then check it out.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Suspense Novel to Date! April 1, 2012
Format:Kindle Edition
When it comes to any novel about the Titanic, I know that things aren't gonna end well, for most, if not all, the characters. And call me crazy, but I didn't even read the back cover blurb for this book before I dove right in. I saw "Mindy Starns Clark" on the cover, and that's all I needed to know. It was gonna be a great book, even if I had to will it to be so. :o) And of course, I was not disappointed. Mindy's books always have this suspenseful "wow" factor that's different from any other suspense author I've read. Thanks to that wow factor, Echoes of Titanic just might be the best suspense she's ever written!

I normally share a little bit about each character in my reviews, but this time...I just can't do it! There were so many layers to the story that to share how one character impacted it...well, I don't want to spoil a single thing! I will say that the style of the book is one of my favorites, that being parts told in present-day as well as the past. I love to have a little history any time I can get it, so this was the best of both worlds.

What was most impressive about Echoes of Titanic (besides the suspense) was the contribution made by Mindy's husband, John. When it comes to the business world, I'm as clueless as they come, but evidently, the business world is John's home away from home. His additions to the story were quite clear, mentioning stockholders, investments, and loads of money like it was his day job or something (which it actually is, I believe). I'm sure it gave Mindy such great joy to be able to use her gift of writing and her husband's gift with finance to collaborate on a novel together.

I won't lie...

3.0 out of 5 stars Author Usually Does Better June 20, 2012
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Kelsey Tate is the rising star and heir apparent to her family's investing company. Her great-grandmother, a survivor of the Titanic disaster, took what her father and started and turned it into a profitable company, even during the Depression.

Today, Kelsey is being honored in a public ceremony for earning the company a quarter of a million dollars. But as she starts her speech, a man interrupts from the back row claiming that Kelsey's great-grandmother wasn't who she claimed to be. Later that night, Kelsey finds an employee and personal friend dead in the company's offices. What is happening to her life?

Normally, I enjoy books from Mindy Starns Clark, but I couldn't get into this one. Part of it is the subject matter - I find the subject of Titanic so depressing, and the flashbacks to that fateful voyage did little for me.

But part of it was the book itself. The pacing was slow in the first half. The parts that weren't obvious early on just moved forward very slowly. Things do pick up in the second half, and I did get into the book then, but it wasn't enough to save it.

Overall, this book was just average from an author I know can do better.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not my favorite of Mindy's July 20, 2012
Format:Paperback
Most of you know that I am not a huge fan of "Anniversary books." You know which ones I mean, the Anniversary of the end of the Civil war meant there was suddenly a bunch of books about the civil war, the anniversary of 9-11 meant there was suddenly a bunch of books about 9-11. So with the 100 year anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic there has been a number of fiction books out this year.

Most of you also know that I really like Mindy Starns Clark and the books/mysteries she writes. So when her book The Echoes of Titanic hit the shelves I was in a bit of a dilemma, do I read it or not. Well of course I did and I am glad I did. Of course the boat still sinks and some survive and some don't, but there was still a good mystery to go with the book and that I really liked.

Kelsey's beloved Grandmother survived the sinking of the Titanic and started a business, which she has left as a legacy to her family. Kelsey has been training to take the helm and with her father's stroke she will need to step in soon. During the ceremony which is a bit of PR, a distant relative stands up and tells the world, that Adelle was not the one to survive, but her cousin and she pretended to be Adelle just so she could inherit the family money.

With this facing her and a hostile takeover Kelsey needs to race against time to save both her Grandmother's name and the family business. Will she be able to find the bonds that could save the company or will everything fall apart before she can even make her mark on the business world?

To be honest I wasn't sure I was going to like this book, but I really did. I shouldn't have been surprised because it is Mindy writing it and I really like her books.
