About this ebook

"I love the way [Ainsley Walker] goes to a different country in each book and explores. It makes me want to visit those places!" – 5-star review

 

A faraway island.

An impending hurricane.

And a missing pearl brooch.

 

An airplane en route to the U.S. is forced to land on the island of Puerto Rico—and onboard is

 

AINSLEY WALKER

 

Stranded in torrential rain, she is guided by another passenger towards an old plantation house in the island's tropical interior, where she meets an elderly woman who has lost a precious family heirloom.

 

It's a pearl brooch that had once belonged to an actual pirate of the Caribbean—and the old spinster needs her to find it ... fast.

 

But it doesn't go easy. It never goes easy.  

 

Soon Ainsley finds herself propelled across the island on another runaway adventure—

 

—from wealthy art museums to abandoned sugar mills—

 

—from colonial plazas to buried treasure on abandoned naval bases—

 

Ainsley discovers joy, pain, danger…

 

…and the fact that things are never quite as they seem.

 

If you love whodunits, foreign adventure, and quick pacing, you may lose sleep over this "hard to put down" travel mystery! Find out why Jernay's fans call this "an entertaining trip criss-crossing the island" in a "lush atmosphere" that is "full of history, intrigue, and adventure"!

    I received a complimentary copy of the book in exchange for review.I had never read the Ainsley Walker Gemstone Travel Mystery Series before this one. I felt it had a good pace, some good and some bad characters but for the most part good, there was intrigue, adventure, good storyline and I got to learn a little bit about Puerto Rico. The author nicely worked in some history on the Island and its people which made it so that I felt I walked away with a little more knowledge then I went in to the book with. All in all I thought the book was a good quick read and I have already downloaded another book from the series.Ainsley Walker is a gemstone detective. If it is lost, she will find it. En-route back home from a previous job and feeling like she could sleep for a week there is a medical emergency on her flight. The flight is diverted to the closest airport, which happens to be Puerto Rico. All Ainsley can think about is getting home to her bed when the airport is shut down due to a tropical storm. Ainsley is upset but knows there is nothing she can do. She begins talking to her seatmate and invited back to her families home until the airport opens back up. After arriving at the home she is taken to meet a family member who has need for Ainsley's services. With nothing else left to do but hurry up and wait, Ainsley dives in to helping and she adventure, chaos, and confusion ensue.
