Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

A dash of verve, a pinch of charm, a smidgen of spunkiness, and plenty of high-octane action add up to the latest appealing entry in Whitelaw's successful Jordan Lacey series. Juggling her antiques business, a thriving P.I. career, and a gaggle of interested suitors, Jordan takes on two tricky cases. Wealthy butcher Samuel Steel hires her to find out who is wrecking his treasured garden, and stand-up comedian George Hill wants her to identify the middle-aged matron who's stalking him. Then Steel's wife is found with a pair of garden shears stuck in her neck, Hill is discovered hanging from the hook of his dressing room, and Jordan discovers clues leading to an international crime ring. Entertaining reading, thanks to the always appealing Miss Lacey, an abundance of clever plot twists, and a surprising conclusion. Emily Melton
