The Xibalba Murders by Lyn Hamilton

3.0

Lara gets a call from an old friend that takes her to Mexico. Once she arrives he cancels their meeting and is found dead several days later. She isn't sure why he wanted her there and she tries to find out. She is staying at an inn that her friends own and there are some other interesting people living there. She witnesses an art theft and is confined to the hotel by the local police. She manages to find a way out and goes hunting for clues.
She finds a dead person at the local museum while doing some investigating. She also befriends the local curator of the museum and he helps her in her search. She gets involved with an archeologist and thinks it might possibly be love but has been fooled in the past. She also befriends the wife of a prominent citizen who had argued with her friend shortly before he was killed. She has lots of suspicions of who the murderer could be and puts herself in danger trying to find out.
A fun read, not too intense.
