Definitely an enjoyable read, especially for rock-hounds. Picked this up because of a recommendation by Lee Allison, the former state geologist of Utah and current state geologist of Arizona. Thanks, Lee!

I decided to read this after the author was tragically killed in a private plane crash. I had previously read the first book in the series, and not entirely liked it, but I saw that this one had received much better marks and decided to try it out. It is indeed much better, although I should probably have rewound at least 2 books back to #5 to truly get all the interpersonal relationships that are roiling around this book.
The mystery was pretty interesting, though there were some points that still puzzled me in the end. The geology-speak was getting a wee bit much so it was good that the author restrained herself where she did. The interpersonal/romance stuff was...decent, it certainly added colour to the book. There was a touch of melodrama that didn't 100% appeal to me.
I guess my overall feeling is that this wasn't an overwhelming yes-I-must-read-all-the-others, but it certainly was a good book. So tragic to read in the acknowledgments thanks to her husband and son, who were also killed in the plane crash. RIP.
