Wow! Ok, so I got this book from my friend 2 years ago for my birthday, and I finally picked it up to read. (I didn't think I would like it, because it's set in the 1800s and I lend toward more modern books.) Well, I was wrong...I was hooked by page 2 and I could not put it down! The main character reminds me of Elizabeth Bennet in Pride and Prejudice, and the story line had a Mrs. Pollifax feel to it. Best of all, the book ends right in the middle of a dangerous scene, and you're like, AHHHH!!! I was pleasantly surprised by this novel, as well as intrigued by the premise of a female Pinkerton detective in India. Although the book was published by Covenant, there is nothing overly LDS about it; just a good, clean story with lots of mystery and a little romance. I did feel like the end was lacking one more scene from the main character's point of view, obviously a set-up for book two in the series, a book that I will likely read when it is published.
What do You think about Legend Of The Jewel (2008)?
This book was a good combination of adventure and suspense. I really liked it.
