While Island and March are taking a much needed break, they receive a report about a plane that basically disintegrated, killing all aboard. The blame is placed on a terrorist named Dries, Island's biological father. This news puts Island and March back in action, first to discover what, if any, part Dries played in the destruction of the plane, and then to chase down a next-gen weapon that might have the ability to explode glass used in construction. This adventure will take them all over the world, from South Africa to Liechtenstein and France to Venice.

Crystal Whisperer is the third entry in the Spotless series and as a warning up front: this one does end on a cliffhanger. As the story progresses we get more development of integral characters including March and Dries as well as Dries brother, Anies. While the story does contain some humor, the relationship between March and Island is becoming more serious, leaving less time for laughs. The action is amped up as the characters are placed in more and more dangerous situations. Overall, Crystal Whisperer is a very entertaining ride filled with suspense, adventure, and romance. ( )

2.5 stars ( )

Slightly less engaging than the first and second books but, otherwise, still pretty decent. The angst is a bit well-worn by now, and it might be time for the characters to shake it up a bit since they are just moving in the same old patterns over and over. I will still read the next in the series though. ( )
