Free spirit Pandora is shaken by the sudden death of her mother and the arrival of a mysterious stranger from across the Atlantic. When her mother’s grave is disturbed, she turns detective and finds herself drawn into a world of intrigue, centring round a devious couple’s plot to exploit a healing circle for their own ends. Her partner Jay’s collaboration with an attractive singer and her own encounter with an old flame add to the confusion. The twists and turns of her life, just like the labyrinth in her garden, lead to who knows where?

“A brilliant continuation”
Five Star Review on Amazon By michael naylor
I read Transforming Pandora the first book in the Pandora Series and immediately picked up this one upon finishing it. Squaring Circles is an excellent continuation of the series and even offers an introduction at the start so that people who have not read the first book will still know a bit about the characters. And the characters are really what drives this series and make is so unique and enjoyable. Although Pandora is the main focus each of the people around her has been brilliantly crafted and really come alive on the page. This is a character-driven series and the author makes them all very relatable and really come alive on the page with excellent dialogue and character development.
This is a spiritual story and if you are a bit of a skeptic it does require you to have an open mind. But even if you are a skeptic this is a wonderful series that I think anyone can relate too. Pandora has moved on from the death of her husband in this book and has new challenges to face including her mother’s funeral and meeting a half-brother she never knew she had. She rises to each challenge presented to her brilliantly and is a character full of life who has definitely still got it. A brilliant continuation I am really looking forward to the next book being available on Kindle.
