As a Gemologist I have to say first that the author either has some knowledge about gemstones and their origins or has really done their research.  I'm always interested in books that incorporate gemstones into the storyline, so I was really pleased to discover "The Argentina Rhodocrosite" and it didn't disappoint.This book is really well written and obviously well researched.  It almost read more like a travelogue than a mystery to me but the mystery element was definitely there and it only took a little while before I was involved in it.I had a little trouble getting into the story at first and I wonder if it's because I hadn't read the first book in the series?  I was finally able to feel like I was "tracking" with the storyline and involved with the characters and I wound up really enjoying this book.  I'm going to purchase and read the first book in the series so I have all the background on the characters for the next book :)If you like a mystery that leads you through other countries and exposes you to other cultures and lots of adventure this is the book for you!I received a free copy of this book in order to review it.
