Reviews
In this book, John and Julia venture to the Yucatan
Peninsula to take a relaxing vacation and nurture their marriage, which has
suffered as a result of John's neglect (due to his work as a knife maker).
Julia is also on assignment for the newspaper while in Mexico, and the couple
is joined by their bachelor friend, Paul, a dedicated archaeologist. What
starts out as a romantic trip quickly turns into a dangerous adventure among
the Mayan ruins and jungles, and the vacationers are on the run from
thieves--and wild animals! Excitement prevails, and this book is full of mystery
and suspense.<br /><br />Linda's writing is lively and down-to-earth; she has the
ability to make you feel as if you're in these stories, along with John and
Julia, trying to decipher the truth and escape from harm. Before reading these
novels, I didn't know much about archaeological thievery, although I was
introduced to artifact theft when I interviewed Linda. -- Suko’s Notebook
