Ribbons of Death is a mystery by Edita A. Petrick. A government contractor named Carter, puzzled by bizarre occurrences linked to the controversial book she wrote, approaches Stella Hunter, a shunned professor on myths and legends. Stella’s research about a myth known as Peacetaker has become a reality. A Peacetaker is a boy born during a Blue Moon, who causes death and destruction wherever he goes with a special amulet that his power hungry controller lets him wear. The amulet’s aura makes people and animals behave abnormally. Stella joins Carter in following the devastating trail of the Peacetaker, while attempting to locate more historical clues that may assist them in stopping these enemies of civilization. However, their search reveals that historians who can help them have died, while others believe Stella’s book is a sham.
Ribbons of Death is a very good mystery. Edita A. Petrick takes readers on an exciting journey with her well-written story about a myth that comes to life. I liked the suspenseful build-up and clever, amusing process she created that has Stella and Carter thinking of clues, and the friendship they have formed. The author has created a strong plot with nicely developed characters. Stella has bitter marital problems and I found it interesting to see how these blended into the story while she worked with Carter to catch the Peacetaker. Readers who enjoy books about ancient myths, legends, and archaeology will find Ribbons of Death by Edita A. Petrick a delightful, but reflective story.
