Benedict Stone is a jeweler, whose wife has left him to focus on her painting & whose neice shows up unexpectedly from the USA. Benedict is estranged from his brother &, being that his neice seems troubled, wants to help her reconnect with her heritage. So they dig out Benedict's father's journal on gems & the fun begins. It's a light read, a bit boring at times with all the fear of everything & handwringing, but I'll polish ig off today & get on with the next tasty morsel. 
Just a couple of others over the past week worth mentioning:
Love in the afternoon, Karen Hawkins - set in NC, a delightful paranormal cozy that starts off with a bang! Very short, 340 pgs.
The cat, the professor, & the poison, sweeney. The first book in The Cats in Trouble cozy series. Great!
All of the ones you've mentioned are going on my TBR list! I love elephants & the elderly lady up to no good sounds fun. Raging Heat sounds good, too.
On my TBR list this week:
Lost Lake, Sarah Addison Allen
Suspect, crais
Freefall, Crais
The 6:20 Man, Baldocci
Ty for the thread! Have a great week.
