5.0 out of 5 stars What's an apostrophe thief?, June 9, 2006

This review is from: The Apostrophe Thief (A Sergeant Marian Larch Mystery) (Paperback)

"The Apostrophe Thief" is definitely the better of the two Barbara Paul books I've read. In fact, the title for this book is the reason I picked both of them up. I was fascinated by the title.

What is an Apostrophe Thief? Does he steal the apostrophe from "it's" to make it "its?" Well, it is the name of a Braodway play that has been burglarized for items that can be re-sold to collerctors. The book includes fascinating insight to compulsive collectors of memorabilia. This book was written pre-Ebay so all of the collecors have to connect by word of mouth or at auctions so there are lots of offbeat characters to meet.

I give this book an "A-".

This is really fun- lots of theater stuff. Anyone who likes plot twists would enjoy this. My sister and I knew her "way back when" when we we in college together.
