Review: Didn't care for it

I received a complimentary copy of The Portugal Sapphire (An Ainsley Walker Gemstone Travel Mystery) in exchange for an honest review. I have also read another book in this series (The Puerto Rico Pearl) and, unfortunately, I had the same problems with this one that I did with the previous one. I didn’t connect at all with the main character. I thought that the plot was thin and not particularly interesting. I blame myself for not paying closer attention to the title – this is truly a combination of a mystery and a travelogue. While I expected to learn something about the locale where the story took place, I wasn’t prepared for – and didn’t really care for - the depth of the “travel” portion of the book. While this book wasn’t my cup of tea, I would not dissuade others who like this sort of book more than I to give it a try.
