Probably would have DNF if the book wasn't so short.

Basically, female Indiana Jones, just not quite the same level of cool.

This was some of the blandest most uninteresting writing I've read in a while. It was my first Janet Evanovich book but I can't believe this woman has been publishing bestsellers for 30 years and hasn't developed a more sophisticated style of writing in all that time. 

The characters were boring and annoying, the writing was all telling and no showing, and the depictions of the South American characters were racist.

Very silly, but entertaining. A good beach read.

This was an awesome story. If you like the mummy, Indiana Jones or Sahara movies you should read this!
