Jemma had always loved fossil hunting, making it the focus of her life. She had found many smaller fossils, but when she and her dog, dino, went looking after a storm on the beach she uncovered something extraordinary. With the help of her nephew and a few trusted colleges Jemma unearthed and transported the largest plesiosaur ever found, nicknaming her Plessy. Once Plessy was displayed at the local museum the true trouble began. Breaking and entering, theft, and attempted murder are not too drastic. Can Jemma survive with Plessy still in tow?
I received a copy of this eBook from the author in exchange for an honest review. I can't say that I have read a lot of dinosaur books that are for adult audiences. Most of them have been children's books for my 6 year old son. Still, this was a thrilling mystery.
While the author does let the reader know who the culprit is behind the heinous acts rather early the process of finding out if they will get away with their plan is exciting. The 'villain' fulfills the role in a way that could be possible and the acts are largely well thought out. I enjoyed most of this book, although I could have done without the cheating aspect. It was just as pointless as the act itself.
My favorite character was easily dino, even though he was a dog. He played a big part in the book from the location of the prized fossil to leading Jemma back to the scene of a crime. If you are looking for an interesting and unique mystery this could well be your next choice! The book is well-written with characters that are largely relatable, if sometimes annoying.
