Bidding is brisk when Lovejoy is on the block at a charity auction as "Slave for a Day". The job entails more than expected and despite argument, he must accompany a group of patients from a psychiatric unit to Wales in horse-drawn caravans. The information about antiques and forgeries is fascinating as usual. What I enjoy less is the style of writing that I find choppy and laden with colloquialisms, making it difficult to comprehend in places. Disappointing. ( )
