Onderdeel van de reeks(en)Molly Doyle (1)
Elizabeth Porter was a top-of-the-lineManhattan antiques dealer until her ex-husband and his lover's flagrantly criminal scam left her reputation in tatters. Now, using a new name, Molly Doyle, she's starting over a continent away in a rundown antiques shop in cozy Carmel, California. Molly is determined to make the best of it. But the early antiques bird sometimes gets more than the worm, and one prompt arrival places her at a murder site with a corpse in her arms. After she turns up at a second seemingly unrelated death, the abrasive new police chief considers Molly the prime suspect. Now the only way to clear her name is for Molly to find her own path to a killer, which will leave her either exonerated ... or dead. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

I had two problems reading this book. The first is that the writing is at times awkward, as if the author were unsure how to convey her point. There are some grammatical errors, but even those are not as troubling as the overall awkwardness.
The second problem I had is that I just didn't like one of her major characters. Chief Randall is supposed to be a bit hard edged, old fashioned and rough, but that doesn't begin to describe him. I know from various textual cues that I am *supposed* to like him, to find him in some way sympathetic, but I don't. Plus, he doesn't seem to be very good at his job. He makes numerous errors, which makes him both less credible and less likeable. ( )
