Sharon McCone, murder in restored Victorian leads to earlier murder, Tiffany lamp of Ches. cat the clue. Pretty good story. As one of the early McCone series, it's interesting to see how the character developed over time. HOWEVER, a 30+ year old book doesn't always age well. And that's the case with this one. What was perfectly acceptable in the 80's comes across as really insensitive and racist in 2019. It's really a shame because it detracted from an otherwise strong story. The murder of a master house painter and colorist in circumstances made to look like an accident takes Sharon McCone into the world of historic preservation and restoration. The most interesting thing about this novel is the custom-made Tiffany lamp which turns out to be a clue. I didn't find Sharon McCone a particularly engaging character and she carried on in a manner that no private investigator would. Story was confusing; didn't much care for the characters. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

Fiction.
Mystery.
HTML: To tourists, bay-windowed Victorian mansions are quaint, peaceful symbols of old San Francisco, but on the secluded hill above Steiner Street, the gingerbread has sparked a bitter battle. Ambitious developers are pushing for restoration and residents are fighting for their homes...until a controversial restorationist is found dead on the job, awash in garish housepaint. Private investigator Sharon McCone is called in only to discover a second bitter feud, this time between the developers and members of the city's powerful architectural community. As workmen rip through layers of sheetrock, plaster, and wallpaper, McCone unearths another, older crime: a cache of stolen antiques comes to light; and a missing one-of-a-kind Tiffany lamp emblazoned with the glowing profile of the Cheshire Cat becomes McCone's most important clue. To catch a killer, she must follow its eerie, knowing grin before its hidden eye foresees a fatal future. .Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
