" I have rarely met a mystery I didn't enjoy, but this was definitely one. Yuck. I should've liked the book since it was about antiques, which I'm interested in. I just didn't like the protagonist, Sterling Glass, or her friends (except Sol, I did like him). Also, there were lots of descriptions of antiques and I had a hard time visualizing them. Then there was the protagonist's mother, who was dead. frequently,Sterling would quote some poet her mother was fond of. okay one meaningful quote, okay. But filling up your story with someone else's poetry, not good. Then, her mother started giving advise from beyond the grave. This bumped the story from 2 stars to 1. "
