43 year old Crystal Goldstein in Crystal Clear by Jane Heller is a hard-working New York accountant on the verge of burning out. After a higher up implies she is about to be downsized and she discovers her boyfriend hanging out with his ex-wife, her best friend Rona convinces her to take a vacation and cleanse her aura. Crystal heads to a resort in Sedona, Arizona where she is surprised to discover her ex-husband Terry Hollenbeck, who did finally manage to settle down and apply himself, running the highly successful jeep tour that she just scheduled for the next five days. The other explorers in the group are a clueless and ditzy heiress named Amanda Wells Reid and her entourage of unhappy staff. When Amanda disappears and Terry's best friend is accused of murder, the two exes team up to save him and maybe themselves in the process.
The plot was a little slow and the humor sometimes a little too over the top to be funny, but I enjoyed the read nonetheless. 3 stars.
