I had read about the Money Pit on Oak Island several years ago, but the article was only two pages and written in the 1970s. When I saw Oak Island Mystery: Solved, I wanted to see what else there was to know.

This is the second edition, and includes additional information not found in the first version. Reading through the book, I found out that was a lot more to know than I expected. A history of what is known about the area and the supposed treasure is provided, as well as details about the expeditions to delve the secrets of the Money Pit. Items found during the expeditions, and theories are explored so that you have a good idea of what has gone on in the years people have worked there.

I found the different artifacts and theories of the treasure’s origins interesting. I won’t spoil the conclusion of the book, but I was surprised at what the authors determined to be the true story. However, it does make sense with the evidence provided.

I received a complimentary copy from the publisher through NetGalley. All opinions are my own.
