5 Stars for THE COLLECTOR OF DYING BREATHS
My Thoughts:
As THE COLLETOR OF DYING BREATHS by MJ Rose opens Jac’s brother is dying and no medical expert can figure out why. The last of her living family, as she watches her brother waste away, she begins to wonder if perhaps he has been poisoned.
Jac faces her loneliness at the loss of her brother and best friend, but faces the truth that her loneliness has ever been her constant companion. She turned away the only man she ever loved, and is unable to connect truly with anyone or anything, save for her work. Her brother’s death, and his haunting of her afterwards, makes her realize that it is her own life that she must learn to connect with. She must find the road that will allow her to live fully, as her brother did.
As she begins a quest to finish her brother’s final project, THE COLLECTOR OF DYING BREATHS becomes a journey though time as Jac realizes that she is tied to the work both in the present, and in the past. Joining forces with the love of her life, Jac delves into the past intrigues of Catherine de Medici’s court. A novel of suspense, murder and love renewed, THE COLLECTOR OF DYING BRETHS will keep the reader riveted until the last page. A wonderful novel.
