Stalking Ivory by Suzanne Arruda

3.0

---

This is the second book in the series and so far it seems more like an adventure series than a mystery, with Jade Del Cameron as a sort of female Indiana Jones. She's a writer/photographer for a travel magazine, again on assignment to Africa in the early 1920s (this time to write about and photograph elephants) but she seems to get into enough trouble like Mr. Jones. It's not long before Jade stumbles upon poachers - and worse - and her fierce independent spirit and sense of justice means she can't leave it alone. A new love interest is introduced which suited me fine since I didn't care for the last one but this subplot never overpowered the story. I'm enjoying Jade as a character even though she sometimes tends to be headstrong to the point of being insensitive to her friends, and I'm definitely enjoying the African setting. It plays out in my head like an old movie, with a young Ava Garner as Jade. I'll be back for more.
