Review

"Dan Walsh's novel-within-a-novel is rich with intrigue, history and romance. Character-driven and wistful without hampering the suspense of the plot's steady pace, The Discovery is a sublime delight that shouldn't be missed." - USA Today

From the Back Cover

An Engrossing Story of Family Secrets and a Love for the Ages

When aspiring writer Michael Warner inherits his grandfather's venerable Charleston estate, he settles in to write his first novel. But within the confines of the stately home, he discovers an unpublished manuscript that his grandfather, a literary giant whose novels sold in the millions, had kept hidden from everyone--but which he clearly intended Michael to find. As he delves deep into the exciting tale about spies and sabotage, Michael discovers something that has the power to change not only his future but his past as well.

Laced with suspense and intrigue, The Discovery is a richly woven novel that explores the incredible sacrifices that must be made to forge the love of a lifetime. Author Dan Walsh delivers yet another unique and heartfelt story that will stick with you long after you've turned the last page.


"My wife Norma and I fell in love with Dan's writing after reading his first two novels. I was immediately drawn in by the compelling characters he creates and the relationally driven storylines. His books grab your heart and don't let go until the last page. I look forward to reading every novel Dan writes."--Dr. Gary Smalley, bestselling author and speaker on family relationships

"Thrilling, romantic, and intriguing. In The Discovery, Dan Walsh takes a fascinating sidebar of World War II history and crafts a suspenseful, beautifully written, and deeply satisfying story. This is his best novel yet!"--Sarah Sundin, award-winning author of the Wings of Glory series

"Dan Walsh's novel-within-a-novel is rich with intrigue, history, and romance. Character-driven and wistful without hampering the suspense of the plot's steady pace, The Discovery is a sublime delight that shouldn't be missed."--USA Today

"Yet again, Walsh has crafted a novel so engaging that you will lose all sense of time as he draws you in and makes the reader a part of the story. Based on historical facts, this is the perfect blend of history, suspense, and romance. Walsh's 'book within a book' concept is intriguing. The reader will be reminded that God alone can give us the peace that surpasses all human understanding."--RT Book Reviews, 4½ STARS and TOP PICK

Dan Walsh is the bestselling and award-winning author of The Unfinished Gift, The Homecoming, The Deepest Waters, and Remembering Christmas.

5.0 out of 5 stars As "the plot thickens" it drew me in

After the first Dan Walsh book I read, I liked it so much that I have purchased almost all of his books. This story really captured my interest from the first and held it till the last, and I couldn't wait to read another of his books. It has an engaging plot that can be suspenseful yet still heart warming. The story was very engaging and as I began to guess where the story was going my interest was more intense. What an original story, and an original ending! I've read several of his books now and really appreciate the fact that they are clean enough that I am comfortable reading them, and I'd be willing to recommend them to my children and grandchildren. I love that the main characters have Christian values, and believe in miracles, and prayers.

5.0 out of 5 stars An incredible tale

Great story. It is probably based on fact. It provides a new dimension to suspense with a wonderful format to help bring the story into light and drawing you, the reader into a participant. The character development is exceptional. From the beginning until the end you can't help but be an active participant.

From all my friends who recommended this book, I'm sure you will enjoy being a member of the support team of the characters.

It's hard to believe that there are no real villians in the story. That the author didn't have to use graphic violance, sexual overtones, or foul language to drag the reader into the story. All Dan Marsh had to do was this story, like all his other tales, clean with good Christian values.

I know you will enjoy the suspense and intrigue provided in this story. It could be based on historical facts.

Gerard Warner, famous author is now dead and his family are getting ready for the reading of his Will in Charleston, South Carolina, where he resided for many, many years. One of his grandson's Michael and his wife, Jenn, have just been married a year. Each one of the family become instant millionaire's but Michael is given less money due to him inheriting his grandfather's house, an historic landmark built in 1868.

Michael's sister, Marilyn, is convinced Gramps was hiding something. Why is there no family history beyond him and Nan? Where did they meet? Where was he born? Gramps promised all would be revealed but nothing was mentioned in the Will.

Michael longs to write and now has his opportunity but although it is not long before he gets a book offer, is it really what he wants? As he does some soul searching, Michael decides he wants to find out some answers. Not finding any in the attic, he is surprised to find a manuscript "An Impossible Love" in his grandfather's typewriter case.

This book is actually two books! We are reading Michael and Jenn's story but once Michael finds his grandfather's manuscript we are treated to another book. Both are chaptered individually with An Impossible Love starting after chapter 12. Each "book" has different chapter headings/fonts so easy to know which one you are in.

Michael is kind of dumb! It is very easy to see who his grandfather is writing about and even Jenn says she figured it out way before Michael did. It is a fascinating story and one that will keep you gripped. Flows well and an easy read. The only thing that "bugged" me were all the incomplete sentences. It just seems to be the author's way of writing but many of the "sentences" are actually just phrases. He seems to like starting a lot of sentences with "But".

Great read though and one I would recommend.

Imagination or real? Some of both or mostly true? I kept wondering as I read the story if Dan Walsh figured out how to tell this story. It is suspenseful, but also a love story in several ways. It is a page turner.

The beginning : A young very loving couple becomes monstrously rich because of an inheritance ... well if i wanted to read this kind of romance I would have bought a book by Barbara Cartland. Just can't be bothered with thiskind of stuff. then, the book inside : more interesting in that is relates to an episode of WW2 in Americawhich is rarely sphoken of. But again love and romance are omnipresent in the story, with nice but insignificant characters. and truly you cannot expect a would-be spyn freshly arrived to America, hiding and seeking a place to live in and still not sure what to do to fall in love at first sight and go for it ? Besides everthing was quite predictable. Its a pity because the topic could have been quite interesting.
