The Uruguay Amethyst (An Ainsley Walker Gemstone Travel Mystery) - J. A. Jernay - Bog

A faraway land.
A valuable amethyst.
And the auction of a lifetime.
Amateur gemstone detective Ainsley Walker accepts an offer from an elderly art dealer to travel to the country of Uruguay-the forgotten jewel of South America-to buy a priceless treasure.
But it's not that easy. It's never that easy.
Things go wrong, and Ainsley's plans are flipped upside down. Soon she's carried on a fast-paced runaway adventure-
-from the historic streets of Montevideo to the muddy roads of remote villages-
-from rural beef ranches to elite beach resorts-
Along the way, Ainsley encounters joy, pain, friendship, duplicity, murder ... and a new identity.
If you love whodunits, foreign adventure, and quick pacing, you may lose sleep over this impossible-to-put-down travel mystery! Find out why Jernay's fans call this a "brisk, entertaining romp" that has "an outstanding sense of place, an enjoyable main character, and entertaining supporting cast."
