The Antiquities Hunter
The Antiquities Hunter: A Gina Myoko Mystery | Maya Kaathryn Bohnhoff
5 posts | 4 read | 12 to read
Gina "Tinkerbell" Miyoko is not your typical private eye. Armed with a baby blue Magnum, a Harley blessed with Holy Water by her dramatically disposed mother, and a Japanese mingei tucked in her pocket (a good luck charm from her Sherlock Holmes-obsessed father) Tink spends her time sniffing out delinquent dads in the San Francisco Bay area and honing her detective skills. But when her best friend Rose, an undercover agent, discovers there's a stalker on her tail, she hires Tink as a bodyguard. Someone must be trying to intimidate Rose and scare her out of testifying in an upcoming case on looted Mayan artifacts. But when Tink tries to flush-out the stalker, things take a far more dangerous turn. Now, with a dead black-market dealer and an injured Rose on her hands, Tink must take her best friend's place and follow the looters' trail towards a powerful and lucrative antiquities collector in Cancun, Mexico. Equipped with an ingenious disguise and a teasingly coy persona to match, Tink is determined to find out who is behind the attack on Rose and the illegal trafficking of these priceless artifacts. Along the way, she will find help in the most unlikely of partners... Deep in the jungle and far from civilization, Tink must decide who she can trust as she tries to unearth the ones responsible behind the pilfering and bloodshed--and still make it out alive.

A little Veronica Mars, a little Indiana Jones, and a little Lara Croft. PI Gina "Tinkerbell" Miyoko finds herself undercover, hunting for black market Mayan antiquities dealers after her best friend, a National Parks agent is stalked and hurt when she sticks get nose in where the bad guys don't think it belongs. Love the fact that not only is the MC a POC but almost every character in the book is. This was a lot of fun to read!

Fun mystery with PI Gina Miyoko whose mother is a Russian witch and whose father is Japanese and a retired detective who spends his days with a group of Sherlockians! Gina is recruited as part of a sting to save Mayan antiquities from looters and she ends up playing a dangerous game- and working with hunky archeologist Cruz Veras. 3.5⭐️different and feisty heroine.

Breakfast date yesterday. Then Noel had to run to work, and I sat and read a bit. This one is basically just what I expected so far - kinda Stephanie Plum-ish.
