The Tunnels

A Harbor Secret, Book 1

By: Kristie Dickinson

Narrated by: Jack de Golia

Harbor Springs is a tiny resort town in northern Michigan that serves as the summertime playground of the wealthy, famous, and sometimes infamous. Starting a new business with her aunt, the fiercely independent Kylie Branson moves to town and unwittingly purchases for her home what had once been the summer stomping grounds of the notorious Purple Gang of Detroit. Soon she finds herself getting into predicament after predicament. Fortunately for Kylie, local fire chief Jason Lange always seems to show up at the right moment to rescue her. Unfortunately for Chief Lange, Kylie isn't the kind of girl who believes in being rescued. When Kylie's puppy gets stranded in an old air shaft in the woods, Kylie soon discovers that she may have gotten more than she bargained for when she purchased her home. Could the local lore about what was once Club Manitou be true? Kylie won't rest until she has learned the whole story.

Good story idea, kind of abstract way of putting it together

the story idea is nice but i dont think enough connection was done to correlate the past and present. i liked the connection will Willie, but not sure of the purpose restaurant manager and the Herrist. i get that brings together the tunnels but i think maybe having some notes found in the incinerator to increase the curiosity. as mentioned the idea is really good, but it could have been pulled together more. its just barley touching on romance, more from past characters then the present

it was interesting

I liked the story line, but it was a little to much whining of one of the main characters. she was just to look cluttsey for me you know. and the guy was also a bit took much as well.

The Titanic of Harbor Springs!

I loved how this book mixed the story of 1930 purple gang in with a present times Discovery!

Double The Pleasure!

What did you love best about The Tunnels?

I have been to Northern Michigan too many times to count and had never heard about the tunnels before hearing this story. I both learned something and was thoroughly entertained while doing so. Next time I pass through the area I will stop and do more research.

What did you like best about this story?

I liked the intertwining of generations and I thought the characters were well developed. It moved along really well, and it had me guessing as to what was going to happen next (which usually was completely wrong). I allowed myself to get lost in it, and I wasn't disappointed.

Which character – as performed by Jack de Golia – was your favorite?

Willie was my favorite but Cupcake runs a close second.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

I liked the entire piece, and thought it flowed extremely well the entire way through. Nothing in particular stood out, but that doesn't mean I didn't enjoy it. It held my attention from start to finish.

Any additional comments?

I really liked how the story came together, and both the writing and performance gelled very well in my opinion. I would absolutely read/listen to more work by the author, and I liked this story so much I listened to it again. I don't do that often, and I found it just as entertaining the second time through.

Terrific work Miss Dickinson! Your word use is outstanding. If I had to bet I would bet you are an excellent Scrabble player as well.

The Tunnels

A good story with some romance,mystery and maybe a bit of magic. Kylee buys a house that was once a restaurant run by the mob.There are tunnels under it and now its secrets are coming to light. Jack de Golia was a fine narrator.I was given this book by the narrator,author or publisher free for an honest review.
