Ugh. You know when you can just tell that a man has written a female character? The lead character was unrealistic and came across as arrogant and one dimensional. The story is dull, the passion about the precious jewels was OTT and I didn't really care by half way through whether she found them or not. The description of some of the locations was evocative and I enjoyed it, but that wasn't enough to save this story.
