A new voice in mystery
Dark and disturbing, "Five" is the first adult novel by Ursula Archer. It mixes traditional police investigations with social technology and a ruthless psychopath. With multi-dimensional characters and a killer leaving chilling clues, it's a page-turner you won't soon forget. Be prepared to stay up late with this creepy novel.

Because of a family death I have not yet finished this book, but I like the way the author kept you guessing and a unique way of presenting the clues.

Now I know what geocaching is and where Salzburg is. I love murder mysteries and this book does not disappoint! I've discovered a new author who is enjoyable to read even if some of the reading is gruesome (but isn't that why we choose to read murder mysteries ?) Ursula Archer is an excellent writer. I am looking forward to her next novel

Edge of seat thriller!
It all starts with a dead woman's body in a field. Using geocaching as a way to deliver clues, Ursula Archer takes the reader on a journey as the detectives try to prevent more murders. This book is a great read you will have a hard time putting down. If you like Louise Penny you will enjoy this book.

Five will enthrall.
It is a pleasure to review Five. As a first time reader of Ursula Archer I had no expectations of previous works from this author. Her writing style reminded me of Louise Penny which is a compliment of high praise in my opinion. The pace of the story was just right. The suspenseful plot was intriguing without being overtly creepy. Five is a great beginning for a mystery series and I hope we will be treated to more of Beatrice Kaspary novels in the future.

I found this book to be a superb thriller. The story revolves around geo-caching, which is like a scavenger hunt using technology. Very original story. Keeps you guessing right to the end.

Follow that twisty road!
I received this book in exchange for an honest review! This book grabbed my attention from the beginning and caused me a couple of sleepless nights because I didn't want to put it down. The storyline was full of twists and turns and the characters were reminiscent of people you may have met in life. I had heard of geocaching before but never knew what it was so I like how the author explained what it was through the characters having to research it. I am hoping that this debut novel ends up becoming a series and I will be keeping an eye out for other books by this author.
