Artifact by Gigi Pandian is the first book in the new “Jaya Jones Treasure Hunt” mystery series. Publisher: Gargoyle Girl Productions, August 2012
When historian Jaya Jones receives a mysterious
package containing a jewel-encrusted artifact from India, sent by her ex-lover
the same day he died in a supposed accident in the Highlands of Scotland, she
discovers the secrets of a lost Indian treasure may be hidden in a Scottish
legend from the days of the British Raj. But she’s not the only one on the
trail. From San Francisco to London to the Highlands of Scotland, Jaya
must evade a shadowy stalker as she follows hints from the hastily scrawled
note of her dead lover 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 Jaya receives a package from her ex-boyfriend who has suddenly died, Jaya is off and takes us on a fast-paced adventure filled with archeological intrigue and mayhem. The author did a good job in keeping me guessing throughout most of this page-turning drama. The writing was good, the dialogue entertaining and Jaya is a character that I’m interested in learning more about and I can’t wait for the next book in this enjoyable debut series.
