5.0 out of 5 stars Keeps Getting Better!, October 16, 2004

This review is from: Four on the Floor (Antique Lover's Mysteries (Prime Crime)) (Mass Market Paperback)

I've been waiting for the next installment of Jeff and Sheila's adventures, and I've not been disappointed. Characters continue to develop (we learn a bit more about Jeff's butler) and the people he meets are interesting and people that I cared about. Jeff's life pre-FBI is revealed a bit more as he embarks on an sometimes confusing crime stopping adventure. A twist at the conclusion makes this novel particularly memorable. Now I sit back and wait for Deborah Morgan's next book!

5.0 out of 5 stars The best of the series, October 17, 2004

This review is from: Four on the Floor (Antique Lover's Mysteries (Prime Crime)) (Mass Market Paperback)

I nearly gave up on this series after the last book. The way the Talbots collected so much of so many objects seemed too much like avarice to me. While I loved the characters, I wasn't sure I wanted to invest any more time with them. I am glad I stayed with the series as Four on the Floor is the best one to date. I loved the "treasure hunt" aspect of the plot as well as the old car storyline. I never guessed what the secret the woodie held. The Burma Shave quotes at the beginning of each chapter were the icing on the cake. An extremely satisfying read. Who knew Greer had so many facets?

5.0 out of 5 stars Take Me on a Cruise!, September 26, 2005

This review is from: Four on the Floor (Antique Lover's Mysteries (Prime Crime)) (Mass Market Paperback)

This is my fourth "Antique Lover's Mystery". When I finished it, I went directly to Amazon, to order my next. But, there is no next! The books in this series seem to have been published, once a year, in the Fall...so I'm hoping to find the next one available *soon*!

I loved that Jeff found Donna, who shared so many of his loves. It was sad to bid her farewell. I was hoping to see her in future stories.

The further development of Greer's character was a real eye-opener, who knew he'd be so multi-talented. And...it was nice to meet Gordy, too.

I'm already suffering separation anxiety...and I highly recommend this series to anyone who likes mysteries, antiques, classic cars, and eBay. Loving all those things myself, and having had problems with agoraphobia...I guess I'm the perfect match for these books!
