Clue 7
There was something strange about this
lady
Who’s usually the reverse of shady
Normally she points the way
And she’ll do so again, another day.
#treasurehunt
How the hunt
works:
·
Each clue refers to a landmark
or iconic location in a film. The landmark/location is the answer – when you
figure it out, make a note of it!
·
(If you need a hand, check out
the #treasurehunt hashtag on Twitter or Instagram for a hint to the landmark’s
location…)
·
Clues will be revealed by some
fantastic book bloggers from March 26th until April 21st.
Keep checking back on Jane Alexander’s dedicated treasure hunt page
(janealexander.net/join-the-hunt) or on the #treasurehunt hashtag for links and
new clues.
·
When all the clues are
revealed, the first letter of every answer will make an anagram. Solve the
anagram and you have your final answer!
·
Email this answer and all the
landmarks you figured out to hermes@saraband.net
by April 30th to be entered into the prize draw. Two entrants will
win a signed copy of The Last Treasure
Hunt – and if you’ve guessed the most landmarks and locations, you’ll win a
goodie bag and something special from Jane personally! On top of that you’ll
get bragging rights on Twitter and we’ll publicly dub you queen/king sleuth.

Good luck!
At the age of thirty, Campbell Johnstone is a failure. He's stuck behind the bar of a shabby pub, watching from the sidelines while everyone else makes a success of their lives. The most visible is Eve Sadler, a childhood friend and rising Hollywood star. When Campbell tries to rekindle their relationship, he longs for the glitter of her success to rub off on him, but a single shocking night - the novel's shattering twist delivered with a knockout punch - changes everything. Campbell is about to discover the bittersweet taste of fame, and in the process, struggle to save his soul and overcome his own self-delusion.
The Last Treasure Hunt explores our obsession with fame and celebrity with great intelligence and sly wit - it's a modern media morality tale with bite.
