Quicksand by Gigi Pandian

3.0

Quicksand is the third in this series of lightweight breezy mysteries. Sanjay, the Hindi Houdini makes a small appearance in this one, though another retired magician plays a larger role in the search for ancient treasure stolen from India at the end of the 18th century. As usual, there are some rather silly plot points and decisions by the lead characters. This series would be a fun easy read for tweens, with just enough romantic tension to sustain their interest. The magic content is less engaging. I've read enough of Pandian for her writing method to become clear... make a plot point, then spend three pages in either discussion or internal hand wringing, before returning to the action. Helps fill 200 pages.
