I haven't yet read the first two in this series, so I may have missed out on a lot of character development, so I only gave this book 3 stars as it was only so-so for me. I guessed the murderer pretty quickly. I enjoyed the bits of information about the antiques, and especially enjoyed the fact that they were presented as small anecdotes at the start of each chapter so the story was never bogged down in too much detail. I really appreciated the lack of introspection as well - too much internal dialog bores me and I find my self skimming. All in all, a good book and I'll seek out the previous two.
