Review: Blue Bauble Brambles
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 09 29, 2013
A story with a main character who invented a decidedly quirky occupation ~ set within a travelogue and history revealing saga as she traipses around the global countryside looking for a giant blue gem ~ this is a recipe for a already successful mystery series.  Ainsley has a travel bug that is supplemented by her passion for baubles and a career she created in a down employment market. And amazingly- as we follow in her footsteps - her odd career choice works convincingly offering her (and the reader) a glimpse at an exotic location as the mystery story reveals its places and tidbits of key monuments and their history. A thoroughly enjoyable, light reading hor'd oeuvre  for those who enjoy some of their travel to be of the armchair variety. A quick read which will engage the reader enough to make them wonder about (and possibly read) the other gem recoveries in this series. A perfect snack for a side-tracked world traveler/reader who enjoys a tasty escape from the stay-at-home meal of everyday reality.
