Publisher's Summary

When historian Jaya Jones receives a mysterious package containing a jewel-encrusted artifact, she discovers the secrets of a lost Indian treasure may be hidden in a Scottish legend. But she's not the only one on the trail.

From San Francisco to the Highlands of Scotland, Jaya must evade a shadowy stalker, as she follows hints from the hastily scrawled note to a remote archaeological dig. Helping her decipher the cryptic clues are her magician best friend, a devastatingly handsome art historian with something to hide, and a charming archaeologist running for his life. When a member of the dig's crew is murdered, Jaya must figure out which of the scholars vying for her affections might be the love of her life - and which one is a killer.

Compelling

Good pacing of the story and intriguing enough to be the audio equivalent of "couldn't put it down"

Enjoyable

I really enjoyed listening to this book. I’ve read Gigi Pandian’s later books so it was interesting to see how her writing evolved. Historical information is nicely intertwined in this cosy which makes me curious to learn more history.
