3.0 out of 5 stars The Den of Antiquity in Charleston, May 14 2004
This review is from: Splendor In The Glass: A Den of Antiquity Mystery (Mass Market Paperback)
In this book, Abby and her husband Greg have moved to Charleston. She has opened up another Den of Antiquity shop there. Abby's mother Mozelle is also living with them. And CJ, her friend from Charlotte is visiting when the first murder occurs. This is a humourous book, and I actually enjoyed it. I've found that the later Den of Antiquity mysteries seem to be getting a little better. The plots are tighter and the humour is less forced. The book opens with Abby trying to muscle her way into the top echelon of Charleston society. When she receives a request to have tea with the leading society lady she accepts, and takes CJ with her. But no sooner do they leave after having tea with her, than the lady turns up dead - poisoned. Abby needs to find the killer before the rest of society believe she is the murderer. Throw in some antique glass and a new shop assistant that can sell ice to Eskimos, and you have the story. Abby almost gets killed, but is saved just in time - just like usual. In all honesty, I read these books for CJ. She is THE best character in the stories, and she has a big part in this one.
