The story begins with billionaire Xander Moorhouse, who, before his death, orchestrates a complex game for his heirs. He hires Austin Somerfeld, a package delivery driver, to hide 17 parcels in different US states over 18 months. After Xander’s passing, his attorney reveals that the three heirs – Caroline, David, and Juliana – must work together to find and open these parcels in numbered sequence, leading them to their inheritance. As they embark on this quest, the siblings face numerous obstacles and must confront their doubts about whether there is truly any treasure to be found.
Aaron Washington of Hollywood Book Reviews speaks highly about this masterpiece. “Seventeen Parcels is an incredible book which will leave you thoroughly entertained. I particularly enjoyed the themes of family, work, commitment, and of course treasure hunting. Xander Moore is my favorite character because even after his demise, he still shapes the direction of the plot. I appreciate Mic Lowther for making each character different. As a reader, you see yourself in at least two of the main characters. Those that are loud, go getters, the meek, the focused, and those that are a tad slow are all represented. This book is a wonderful read if you enjoy suspense, drama, and are a fan of literary fiction.”
In fact, it was awarded with the Hollywood Book Excellent Merit Seal, a prestigious recognition given only to exceptional books
This novel is perfect for readers who enjoy adventure, mystery, and the thrill of a treasure hunt, as they follow the heirs’ journey across the country, sharing in their frustrations and triumphs.
