You, Me and the Conspiracy by Emma Barry is considered a romantic thriller with a strong conspiracy theme. The novel takes place on the East Coast while two professors look for answers to a riddle they have found. Quite frankly, the conspiracy is bigger and more invasive than they imagined.
Jessica Wilson is trying to publish something so she can make tenure, but she has been scooped by someone else. So she is desperately looking for something she can use instead when she finds a coded message. A message about the government back in the 1700s. She reached out to Calloway Morgan, a professor from a nearby college who she once heard speak on the subject and suddenly they are ensconced in a controversy that she didn’t expect. Together hidden away in a camper in a barn with a friend helping them, Jess and Cal are attempting to decode and figure out what is happening! Hopefully before they are found and killed.
The novel does not spend a lot of time reviewing historical facts, but builds a case for the controversy. The two main characters are likable and intelligent and determined while they plot to bring down the secret society. The novel was entertaining and allowed you to join them on their journey and hot love story.
You, Me and the Conspiracy by Emma Barry is a great read that brings you on a journey of what did they do? PS – The author has stated that this is something she made up and is not a real conspiracy.
