What Amazon Says:
What antique would you kill for? Freya Lockwood is shocked when she learns that Arthur Crockleford, antiques dealer and her estranged mentor, has died under mysterious circumstances. She has spent the last 20 years avoiding her quaint English hometown, but when she receives a letter from Arthur asking her to investigate - sent just days before his death - Freya has no choice but to return to a life she had sworn to leave behind. Joining forces with her eccentric Aunt Carole, Freya follows clues to an old manor house for an advertised antiques enthusiast's weekend. But not all is as it seems. It's clear to Freya that the antiques are all just poor reproductions, and her fellow guests are secretive and menacing. What is going on at this estate and how was Arthur involved? More importantly, can Freya and Carole discover the truth before the killer strikes again?
This books wasn't great. I had picked it up (and its sequel) at a used book store after reading the inside cover. Sounded interesting, but it really was a bit dull and convoluded. Not well written. Story was choppy and with no flow. I am not sure I will pick up the sequel, but I do have a problem not finishing things I bought, so we shall see.
Stars: 2.5
