High society never had it so good as when Kick Keswick retured from being a thief. Even though she worked with her husband who was a retired Scotland Yard detective in the past, Kick still felt the same acquisitive urges from time to time. Usually they were controlled and she presented the world of society with her lady-of-leisure persona, a lady who would never do a wrong.
Her husband is called out of retirement to work a case, so Kick takes the chance to help the auction house that once employed her. She intends to fix the problem of fakes turning up and fears an old enemy is responsible.
Will Kick encounter her old enemy, Owen Brace? Who is he? Can she help save the auction house that gave her education in valuables?
These are but a few of the questions you'll find as Kick re-enters the world of valuables that are to be auctioned. The story behind the fakes keeps the plot moving as intriguing characters lead you deeper into the story. You'll want to know how Kick will handle the situation and if she'll run into Owen and what would happen if they meet.
A fun read that any mystery fan will enjoy, written in a light breezy style that entices you to keep reading, unaware of the passage of time. I'm pleased to recommend this tale of the past returning to haunt a retired jewel thief as one that will have you looking for oter stories by this talented writer.
Enjoy. I sure did.
