Having lived part of my adult life in the low country made this especially interesting with the ghostly parts that are a strong part of the history and the story was enjoyable. I had read Pearl Cove first, finding at a yard
sale. I enjoyed that so I searched and got the first, second and this one on Amazon. Thanks for good stories, and I have to say the "heat" got to this 70 year old lady!!! Thanks for turning up my furnace. Staying warm and having great fun in NC.😻

Midnight in Ruby Bayou St Kilda Consulting Elizabeth Lowell 9780380789894 Books Reviews

A very interesting story, very hard to put down, looking forward to reading the next book put out by this author.
I am a huge fan of Ms. Lowell's; I probably have every book that she has written. I could not give this book a 5 star rating because I feel that the job of this book was not complete. I compare it to a 3-hour movie that producers have cut down to 2 just to draw more viewers, and in doing that leave the viewers feeling cheated. The suspense was 5 star, the story line a 5, but when I got to the last 10 pages I kept thinking...'we've only got a few pages left and a lot more left undone'. I feel that Ms. Lowell could (and should) have added another chapter to this book to give it the ending it deserved, why she didn't is yet another mystery to all of the other unanswered questions I had when I was finished. I also had to wonder why we had so much of Archer and Hannah, and nothing of Kyle and Lianne (Ms. Lowell barely hinted to the twins). I hope that if she continues with the Donovan's that she gives us a little more at the end of the story to make it complete, instead of leaving so much left undone.
Elizabeth Lowell never disappoints. Midnight in Ruby Bayou is the next in the series and continues the amazing amount of research she does on every gem she writes about. If you don't love rubies before you read this book, you'll be in love with them when you finish. You'll never look at a ruby in the jewelry store in quite the same way. Since I'm from the south, I particularly enjoyed the setting Lowell used for this book.
In past reviews I haven't said anything about the characters created for this series. They are tough, rugged, different and believable. They bring just the right amount of intrigue and tension to say nothing of the steamy love scenes. If you're not an Elizabeth Lowell fan after reading one book, check your pulse.
I have spent 5 days reading the entire Donovan Series ! Each book gets better and better! I was totally enthralled by Owen Walker and Faith Donovan, who are multi-layered characters deftly handled by the author. The lush setting of the south mixed with gemology had me in heaven. There were times when I felt like saying,"please pass the crab" that is how engrossing this novel was and will be. I have a feeling we will be hearing from Walker and the Donovans in the future at least I truly hope so, because they have become an amazing family to know and there is much more to learn
Midnight in Ruby Bayou continues the saga of the Donovan family, presented in Amber Beach (1997) and Jade Island (1998). Faith Donovan, jewelry designer, has created a necklace containing $1 million in rubies which, it turns out have dubious ownership. Her plan is to exhibit the necklace at a jewelry show in Savannah, Georgia, before turning it over to the owners, the Montegeau family, at the wedding of Jeff Montegeau, family son, and Faith�s pregnant pal, Mel. Owen Walker, ruby expert employed by Faith�s brother, Archer Donovan, is called upon to guard the necklace when Archer insures the rubies in transit. Mysterious accidents begin shadowing the designer as bloodthirsty Russian Mafia and local mobster thugs, attempt to steal the jewels. Walker, recovering from injures suffered in Afghanistan while seeking rubies for the Donovan family, becomes Faith�s capable bodyguard. Local FBI agents add their twists as they follow Walker and Faith.
The plot thickens at Ruby Bayou, ancestral home of the Montegeau family, when Lowell introduces Jeff's father, Davis, a descendant of pirates and owner of a missing Blessing Chest reported to hold a fortune in gems, Davis� sister Tiga, and the family hound Boomer. Montegeaus dark secrets of the past and present begin unfolding and deranged fantasy world of Aunt Tiga offers clues to why the bad guys are after Faith and the secret of the long-lost Blessing Chest. Even CIA agent April Joy from the other books reappears to add spice to the tale. Through clever banter and the unmistakable sexual tension spiral that Lowell is so well known for, the romantic attraction between Walker and Faith merges into trust and commitment as each overcomes their fear of loving someone again. Lowell builds one of her best male characters in Owen Walker causing Faith Donovan�s character, through well defined, to pale in comparison. The fascinating, informative descriptions of exquisite ruby qualities and lessons on the ruby trade skillfully blend through the story line.
I�m a long time Elizabeth Lowell fan and I found Midnight in Ruby Bayou a completely entertaining read that kept me engrossed in both the relationships between the characters and the outcome of the plot. Reading the other books in the Donovan series probably adds to the enjoyment of this installment because you have all the previous Donovan family character background. However, for a completely entertaining read, this romantically spiced mystery is quite enjoyable on its own. If you haven�t read the other books in the series, you probably will once you finish this one!
I loved Faith's character she has been raised with four stronger older brothers, she knows when to fight and when to back off. She has chosen a guy who she thought could stand up to her brothers but sadly found out he was a jerk. She is rethinking her options when she is commissioned to design a beautiful necklace for a wedding present for her former college roommate. The only problem is that she can't have the rubies examined and finished in time for her trip to Savannah for a jewelry show.. Her oldest brother says he will insured them only if his employee check them out . Also there have been break-ins in the area of her shop, and a Russian man comes to her shop demanding she has a beautiful engraved ruby, when she shows what rubies of that description he leaves angry. That night her shop is broken into. This raises the hackles of her brother. He assigns his Friend Jake to guard her and accompany her to the exposition.
