Bridge of Gold by Kimberley WoodhouseMy rating: 💛💛💛💛
I don’t think I will ever look at the Golden Gate Bridge the same after this story. Years ago during a visit to San Francisco, I travelled across the bridge on a bicycle, but never for once thought about what it took to build this amazing structure. Thanks to this story, my appreciation for this bridge multiplied by like a 1000.
Okay, back to the story. I really like the plots of both past and present - both had adventure, mystery, diving and a love story. Though I enjoyed the modern day characters, Steven and Kayla (and I really hope my boys won’t eat as much as Steven), I was pulled towards the past story. Luke was such a great characters, longing to survive with the Depression, striving to do what God expects of him, and then facing real temptations with finding the gold and the events unfolding after.
The modern day mystery felt a bit rushed at the end. I would have like a few more danger scenes before everything was wrapped up so quickly.
What I’ve come to love about this author’s work, and what came across again, was her characters’ faith in God and daily challenges in their walk with God.
I would highly recommend this to fans who enjoy dual time stories rich with factual history.

About the book:
Repairs on the Golden Gate Bridge Uncover a Century-Old Murder
Walk through Doors to the Past via a new series of historical stories of romance and adventure.
Underwater archaeologist Kayla Richardson is called to the Golden Gate Bridge where repairs to one of the towers uncovers two human remains from the late 1800s and the 1930s. The head of the bridge restoration is Mark Andrews, who dives with Kayla, and a friendship develops between them. But as the investigation heats up and gold is found that dates back to the gold rush, more complications come into play that threaten them both. Could clues leading to a Gold Rush era mystery that was first discovered during the building of the bridge still ignite an obsession worth killing for?
