Sunday Book Review
Today’s Sunday book review is on Christoph Fischer’s – The Sanctuary on Cayman Brac – Key to The Truth. I am a great fan of Christoph’s books and this one stood up another 5 Star Review. This book is part of the ‘Fraud or Miracle’ series, Book 3, but it’s most definitely a standalone read in case you haven’t read The Healer and The Gamblers, where Fischer brings in characters from both books into this beachy, yet whodunit type of read.
Get this Book on Amazon!
Blurb:
Arpan has set up a training school and spiritual retreat on the small island in the Caribbean. Yet, the peaceful and quiet existence he has sought soon comes to an end. The arrival of Erica teaches him that lose ends won’t stop until they’re truly healed and dealt with.
Erica, out to seek revenge for past wrongs soon begins to fall under the Caribbean spell and the magic of Arpan. Torn between her desire for justice and her own longing for peace, what she discovers at the school sets her again on the path of confusion and distrust.
Set in a beautiful location and spiked with a crossover from the cast of Fischer’s other mystery novel, “The Gamblers” this is another fast-paced psychological thriller about faith and deceit. Erica will finally find out the full truth about who tricked whom and we’ll all get an answer as to who will walk away with the last laugh.
My 5 Star Review:
This is the third book in the Fraud or Miracle trilogy, and I enjoyed this one just as much as Book 1 and 2. In this book, we are taken to Cayman Brac where Arpan has moved his new retreat – a spiritual healing training center where his new peaceful hideaway becomes the center for chaos, deceit and a thrilling ride of who is authentic and what are the character’s motives for showing up to the retreat in this mystical thriller. Greed is the motive for all these characters wanting to destroy Arpan and steal his business.
Erica returns to find out from Arpan if he is truly a healer or merely a con man pretending to heal her of a disease she’s not sure she really had. While taking part in the classes, she spends secret time investigating the truth behind Arpan and his dealings with the two mysterious women Julia from the pharmaceutical company who forbid Arpan to practice healing after her company bought the rights for the so called ‘elexir’ which Arpan had given up and Hilda, Erica’s ex assistant who was part of the scheme with Julia to make Erica believe she had terminal cancer but was miraculously healed. We also find Ben the accountant from the Gamblers, who shows up wanting to put his spiritual side to good use by joining the retreat, but are his intentions honest or is he part of the deceitful clan who power this story?
Fischer has a great talent for keeping his readers hooked til the very end of his books. His characters are memorable and well fleshed out. This book will keep you wondering all the way who is good and who is evil. A superb ending I never anticipated. A great whodunit for mystery lovers.
Thank you so much for this ❤

Great review, Debby. I want to read the whole series (when the first book came out it wasn’t a very good time for me and I haven’t had a chance to catch up yet). I love Christoph Fischer’s books. Thanks, Debby.

Thanks Olga. As I just replied to Diana, I love Christoph’s books too, especially his historical fiction. I enjoyed this whole trilogy, which theoretically stand alone, but you can better appreciate the characters if you read the other books. 🙂
