About The Water
Diamond: When
a legendary Art Deco bracelet vanishes under suspicious circumstances, diamond
recovery specialist Taylor “Hunter” is called in to recover it. What begins as
a high-profile theft quickly escalates into something far more dangerous: a
murder, a decades-old disappearance, and a hidden second bracelet tied to a
mystery dating back to May 29, 1929.
As Hunter follows
the clues, the investigation leads from the elegance of the Wrigley Mansion to
its historic coastal counterpart, the Wrigley Mansion on Catalina
Island—uncovering a web of secrets that spans desert and sea. But she’s not the
only one searching, and someone is willing to kill to keep the truth buried.
Our
Review: It isn’t often we
can say a book kept us up late into the night—or woke us up in the early
morning hours to finish—because learning the identity of the real “bad guys”
became an obsession. With her talent for crisp, non-stop action and creating
individualized characters who support “Hunter” in clever, often unexpected ways,
author CB Wilson has herself a winner here. From the cocky and manipulative
ex-husband—Chad the Cad—to the FBI guy whose too hunky for words but also has
just the right knee-knocking moves, to the former diplomat we all hope to
emulate in our golden years, to Glimmer the gem-detecting Dachshund who is most
definitely one for the books.
Action, characters, and plot, combined with glamorous
settings, make this a must read for cozy mystery fans.
Based on a scale of 1-5, The Water Diamond merits a 7.
