In the fourth installment of the Jaya Jones Treasure Hunt
Mystery series, author Gigi Pandian acknowledges her editorial team, beta
readers, parents, and significant other James. Though not the initial
installment of its franchise, readers will be happy to know that they need not
read its predecessors to enjoy the story, which focuses on sundry things such
as art from India connecting to the Italian Renaissance, a murderer connected
to a ghost story, and a secret in Italy’s sculptural Park of Monsters.
Protagonist Jaya’s former teacher dies in strange circumstances, and she and
her brother are on the hunt, venturing from San Francisco to Italy, with plenty
twists, great historical detail, and so forth. The result is an engaging
mystery that fans of prior books and even newcomers to the series will likely
digest.
