41. A Fistful of Diamonds - John B. Robinson

ARC received from LibraryThing Early Reviewers in 2008! This was the second in the 'gemstone thriller' series and I haven't read the first one, which is highly unusual for me. The book was less than 200 pages, and the plot moved very quickly. Lots of gore, so not one for the easily grossed out! Probably will not go back and read the first one, or the next one in the series, it just didn't grab me.
Finished: 31DEC10
