Add to that a baffling rash of summer home robberies, and Lark and Lacey have their hands full again.
Great book! Kept me guessing until the very end. The author has a great gift for imagery and has the reader walking right alongside of the characters; smelling, sensing, experiencing the same things that they did. The character development was awesome and real -- we know people like them! The story revolves around a collection of priceless antiques and sent me to the internet to look up the pieces more than once. The book made me wonder if, behind the walls of those gorgeous homes we drive by, just might have collections like this? I'll probably never know, but reading and dreaming about it serves me just as well. It's a great summer read or a great way to relive your DC vacation between the cover.
