"Interesting peek at the antiques world and, oddly enough, the life of an agoraphobic. The setting of Mackinaw Island was unusual and the formality, dress codes, and characters were quirkily fun. Deborah Morgan's writing style makes the book seem a bit old fashioned. "
— Leslie (4 out of 5 stars)

— Michelle, 10/27/2013" 2.75 but not quite 3. Good enough that I may check the library for others. Lightweight mystery with intriguing characters. "
— Barbara, 8/30/2013" I listened to the audio version of this book. 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. "
— Kate, 7/22/2013" Charming Series. "

— Leslie, 11/15/2012" Wanted to like it (Michigan author). Couldn't. Strange, clunky mystery that reads like a (bad) throwback to the '50s. I finished it last week and can't even remember now the solution to the mystery, I so didn't care. "
— Margaret, 10/27/2012" Typical ex-FBI agent turned into something else. So to give it one more turn of the screw he has an agoraphobic wife. Really? Total suspension of incredulity crasher.... "
— Olgalijo, 8/13/2012" An OK mystery set in the world of antiques. It passed the time but I am probably not going to go out of my way to pick up the next in the series. Listened to the audio version which was read by the very bland Reed McColm. "
