Customer Reviews

You'll enjoy this book

This books keeps your attention from beginning to end. The plot is fast moving and the main characters are engaging. I particularly liked the transitions from Florida to the Cayman Islands to Europe. It will be interesting to see what adventures await Claire in the next book!

A Wonderful Find

The Find is a gripping, suspenseful murder mystery from beginning to end. It traverses the world of Miami, Florida, the Cayman Islands and London. It touches on antiquities and the Holocaust. The characters are mature, the writing animated, the details engaging and as the plot unfolds, readers becomes engaged with the protagonists and the crime. Modern criminology is joined with Aztec history to solve a murder decades old and give flesh and narrative to a skeleton found beneath the ruble. Throughout the novel there is much to uncover and the prosecutor and investigator leave no stone unturned in their search. The Find is quite a find. Michael Berenbaum

A Great Find!

The Find is one of the best murder mysteries I have read. Once I started it I just couldn't put it down. Ms. Jax takes us on an exciting and fascinating journey from Miami to Cayman to London and back. I look forward to her next book and another adventure with Claire and Guy.

I'm Glad "The Find" found me!!!!

The Find is a fascinating, suspenseful mystery which blends archeology, history and forensics with great story-telling. I could not put The Find down until I completed it. It is totally believable and kept me on the edge of my seat throughout my read! I highly recommend this book! Debbie Gore

There's more than one FIND in this novel!

THE FIND engaged my attention from the first paragraph to the five final words. I wanted to turn the last page and begin book two. Claire's investigation of murder and fraud crimes examines the link between historic and current events in surprising new ways. Claire and Guy exude the highest personal and professional integrity; I want to join their team. When their journey takes them from Florida to the Caribbean to London, Jax has me experiencing the sights, sounds and smells not just reading about them. Jax is a fresh voice that I sense has more stories to tell. I eagerly await the next release.
