A Cozy Cash Mystery #3
Carats and Coconuts
Think Will and Kate gone Bond, James Bond in the gem smuggling world of Brazil's Amazon Rainforest...with the help of Grams, who now has a Queen of Crabby Maxine fixation.
There’s crazy.
Then there’s a cut above crazy.
And when your parents are two of the world’s top gemologists, you not only learn to deal with cuts – brilliant, baguette, briolette and the list goes on - but you also get damn good at dealin’ with the crazies that those cuts bring into your life. And by crazies, think the smugglers and thieves who transport gems around the globe.
So yeah, as you can imagine, Zoey Witherspoon’s life has been anything but Mayberry. And she doesn’t see that changing anytime soon.
As a Designer and Stylist to The Stars, a fairly new PI, and now the Princess of Caserta, she’s got one crazy-packed resume. As if that’s not enough, she’s also the daughter of George and Suzie Witherspoon of Witherspoon & Witherspoon, the world’s premiere gem vault and lapidary.
The world can’t responsibly deal with the kinds of wealth her parents cut from rocks. The gem trade breeds its own kind of terror. And Zoey’s about to put an end to it...or at least the part of it she knows how to stop. Unless the smugglers stop her first.

Another enjoyable read from this author. The editing is better than in previous books which was huge for my enjoyment factor. I really like the characters although the character named Beefcakes annoyed me a bit. Maybe one person using his given name would have been better. It just kept distracting me as I couldn't imagine everyone being willing to call someone that to their face.
The Santa Clause thing is a bit odd but still kind of quirky fun.

I won this book in a contest at the author's awesome, reader-centric blog: The Reader's Guide to ePublishing. This is a light-hearted, fun, and easy read. I'll post a full review soon.

This is another enjoyable quick read, along with the series. It wasn't as good as some of the others, but still enjoyable.
