5.0 out of 5 stars engrossing, entertaining, and enlightening, September 10, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: The Diamond Tiger (Mass Market Paperback)

I have really enjoyed this book. I know Ms. Maxwell also writes as Eliz. Lowell, but those books can't compare to the density of the Maxwell books. As a graduate gemologist who has studied diamonds and colored stones, I found this book to be authentic without being boring. The characters seem almost real-super heroes-but with just the right touch of uniqueness. There is adventure, romance, and a well-developed plot to sustain one's interest. I just wish Ms. Maxwell would write more of these types of books!

I read this book many years ago, it was one of the first of Ann Maxwell's (aka. Elizabeth Lowell)that I had read and it's still one of my favorites. I've read it four times. Her characters are very well drawn, the dialogue is crisp, plenty of action and it is romantic without being mushy. It is a "romance" book I think a man would enjoy. I would also recomend Ann Maxwell's "Tell Me No Lies". <Ree-views>

Elizabeth Lowell is brilliant at writing about atmosphere - I could almost feel the sweat pouring off my body and the claustrophobia of the tunnels. Her characters here are very likeable and you are rooting for them all the way.
