in London, Lovejoy visits old friends Arthur and Colette Goldhorn, but finds Goldhorn's respected antique shop has been taken over by a wealthy German businessman.
What's more, Arthur is dead, and Colette, an old flame of Lovejoy's, is living on the streets with heryearold son, Lovejoy

vows to avenge his friends, but crossing Herr Gluck turns out to be a dangerous game, I hadn't read any of this series for years not that fond of the Lovejoy character, but this one stands on its own.
I enjoyed the antiques lore and the London settingSpitalfields, Bermondsey, Portobello, Dulwichhe really gets around in this one, Gold by Gemini killed any thought of finishing out the series, This was not read. I read the whole thing, I didn't like the main character or almost any of his friends or enemies, The dialogue, the way the dialogue was presented, and the plot were difficult or impossible to follow, The minor character I did like got what he deserved, but the rest was a mess I wish I hadn't bothered to read, and I'm wondering why on earth I got this from interlibrary loan in the first place.
Ah, well. With most of the books I don't "get," I feel dumb, but with this one I was just annoyed, as though it were made to be especially pretentious or obtuse.
A good book, but marked asbecause it is just my type of story, May be worth more if you are into this type of theme, sitelink livejournal. com/. htmlreturnreturnFor someone who claims over and over that he hates London, Lovejoy spends a lot of time there in this novel, which has all the rambles of the later books in the series only three more after this, including The Ten Word Game and Faces in the Pool.
At least, however, there is a core plot with admittedly an awful lot of distraction in which an even randier than usual Lovejoy attempts to wreak justice on those who have hounded a former lover, caused the death of her husband and threatened their son.
Whose son Hmm. There are some lovely Lydia moments as well she is the most entertaining of the semiregular characters in these books, and will get an unexpected twist in her tale in a couple of books' time and the usual incredible detail about antiques and other issues such as the precise distinction between a padparadsha and a tsavorite.
I don't think this is a gateway book for nonLovejoy fans, but it's an entertaining book for those of us who are.
