The characters were flat and the prose struck me as amateurish. Maybe this writer develops in later books but I would pass on this one. ( ) This was quite a nice little surprise. I chose this as my audio read to balance the heavier pschycological and fantasy reads I am doing: [A Circle of Souls], [Spellbinder], and even [The Christmas Cookie Club] are all pretty meaty for me. Anyway this delightful little cozy tells the story of an auction of the Empress Josephine's tea cabaret. I had no idea until I read this that a 'cabaret' is a tea set...and what a specimen this one was. Our antique dealer Jeff Talbott, a 'retired' FBI agent, finds himself on Mackinaw Island in Michigan at a weekend auction when his rival 'picker' and then the auctioneer are found dead. The supporting cast includes a rich couple who love to dress up, a trio of loony ladies from the South, a stuffy hotel staff, and the local police department who are all too happy to have a 'fed' solve the murders for them.....they haven't had one in almost 50 years! It was a fun audio, well plotted, and a little deeper than I expected. I'm going to look for more in the series. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

Since Jeff Talbot left the FBI, he's been investigating yard sales as a professional antiques picker. From furniture to books, from old clothes to broken toys, nothing escapes his keen eye for appraisal. But there is one item that he always keeps his knowing eyes particularly peeled to find: a one-of-a-kind French cabaret set commissioned by Napolean for his love, Josephine. It is an item any collector would kill for ... So when it's about to be auctioned off and rival collectors start turning up dead there are plenty of suspects to choose from. Suddenly Jeff finds himself polishing up his old crime-solving skills as the search for a cabaret set becomes the search for a killer. But can he pick out the right clues before the killer adds him to the collection of dead bodies? Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
