PI Gina "Tinkerbell" Miyoko is alarmed when her best friend Rose, an undercover agent, reveals she has a stalker. Together they decided to catch Rose's stalker, but it turns out not everything is as it seems. However, this is just the start and they soon realize that someone is out to scare Rose from testifying in an upcoming case about looted Anasazi artifacts. Who better to protect Rose than Gina?

THE ANTIQUITIES HUNTER has just the ingredients I need for a good PI story. A strong character with an odd family (very religious mother and a Sherlock Holmes-obsessed father), an interesting case (I love anything to do with missing artifacts), and a hint of a romantic interest. I'm not a big romance fan, but it works fine when it's served with some action and stolen artifacts. Gina "Tink" Miyoko, is a new favorite character of mine. In some ways, she reminded me of Jaya Jones from the Jaya Jones Treasure Hunt Mystery series by Gigi Pandian. I love that series, so you can guess I was thrilled to discover this book.

THE ANTIQUITIES HUNTER is filled with action and humor. I found the story to be interesting and as I'm a big fan of Indiana Jones can't I help but love the whole missing artifact angle and dangerous situations in the jungle. I just love how Tink's mother seems to think that every single man is a potential future son-in-law... Criminals should not assume that Tink, despite her shortness, is not capable of defending herself. I found THE ANTIQUITIES HUNTER to be an excellent book and I can't wait to read more books in the series!
