5.0 out of 5 stars The gift shop, December 12, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Gift Shop/The (Paperback)

I've read this book over and over for several years! Now I have children and we enjoy it together- The characters put me in mind of the old "Remington Steele" characters, searching for piggy banks with clues in them and out-stepping the bad guys. Lots of fun and some light romance, too.

I found this book at yard sale a couple of years back and i have read it over again several times--the characters are great--especially the quirky male lead character. it's a great mystery with a hint of romance and i would suggest that anyone in the mood to enjoy an entertaining suspenseful book purchase this!

This is one of Charlotte Armstrongs best books, both plot and characters are excellent, as an airport gift shop clerk gets caught up in a chase to track down a piggy bank, bought by one of four children, before a nefarious criminal gang does the same. A thriller with just enough romance and comic relief.
