From Publishers Weekly
Gash's 15th Lovejoy mystery again conveys "the bliss that is antiques," as his antiques dealer/sleuth returns to the deceptively idyllic English countryside and becomes caught up in crimes.

From Library Journal
In this British author's disappointing new work, a muddle of minor characters and colloquialisms fail to disguise the plot's insignificance. The impecunious and womanizing Lovejoy natters and noshes his way through an antiques scam for which police blame him, then finds a crony murdered in a reed-cutter's hut. Nonetheless, Lovejoy shines forth with his usual panache, dedicating some of his chauvinistic time to the mayor's wife--his "apprentice." Strictly for diehard fans, although the Arts & Entertainment Channel's weekly broadcast of Lovejoy , loosely based on the books, may spark some library demand. Previewed in Prepub Alert, 4/1/92.
