Fresh out of school, young Mariah faces a new chapter of his life, living in the Prince Regent hotel built into the face of a cliff. His job is to assist the magician in the stage shows held for the guests. Above ground, the guests are offered every form of luxury. Below ground, in the green, slime-dripping walls of the basements, is where the magic show equipment is kept - and lurking in an Egyptian sarcophagus amongst scuttling sea-creatures is a secret that draws Mariah into the path of villainy, plots and possible death.

This review is from: Mariah Mundi the Midas Box 1 (Hardcover)

The story begins with the young lad Mariah Mundi at a train station. Having graduated from the Colonial School, Mariah was given a third-class ticket to the town at the end-of-the-line. A strange encounter with an odd character at the station leaves Mariah in the first-class cabin with a strange deck of cards he was instructed to not open. The deck of cards is only one of the many strange things that find their way to the Prince Regent, the steam-powered hotel where Mariah is to be employed.

Packed with suspense and action, and peppered with a few wise sayings (mostly from the Christian Bible), this book details Mariah's adventures to delicious detail; I could smell the fish and taste the chocolate. I could feel the cool mist. I could see the strange labyrinth of tunnels that disappeared just beyond the reach of torchlight.

If you like a light, enjoyable, yummy read, full of supernatural curiosities... read this book!
