Synopsis

""When your read this, I'll be dead…""These are the troubling words Serena Charter's grandmother has written on a note accompanying four pages of a centuries-old illuminated manuscript delivered after the old woman's passing.Seeking clues to the mystery laid out before her, Serena turns to Erik North, a reclusive manuscript appraiser with a passion for the past. Erik's examination of the vellum pages raises perplexing questions – about Serena's legacy, the possible location of the remainder of the manuscript…and the senseless murder of an eccentric old woman.Suddenly, Serena and Erik find themselves in the center of a firestorm that rages between two worlds…a past long dead yet living on in an ancient text and a contemporary landscape fraught with terror. Now, there is no one they trust except each other as they get closer to a shocking revelation about what is really at stake and how far a killer will go to possess a vanished treasure.

Goodreads review by Angela on January 10, 2012

Moving Target, the first of her Rarities Unlimited series, is perhaps my favorite of all of Elizabeth Lowell's books.

Despite the title and an exciting beginning, this story moves along rather slowly as the characters are set up, and we are instructed about medieval manuscripts and hand weaving, which I personally found interesting, but some might not.

Goodreads review by Rainz on April 01, 2015

Illuminated manuscript was an enlightening subject,something i hadn't heard until now. The romance between Erik and Serena was kind of sudden, thot it could have developed in a more subdued way.

After such a great medieval series, I feel cheated with this one. Erik's story had so much potential. I was caught up in this world Lowell created. Now I'm left feeling empty and disappointed.. It's such a shame.......more
