2020-2021 Rainbow Awards Honorable Mention: The Lucky Cat (Treasure Trove Antiques #1)
The Lucky Cat (Treasure Trove Antiques #1) by L.M. Somerton
Somerton has given us a light-hearted romp through a jewelry theft set in an antiques store. The MacGuffin, as Alfred Hitchcock would call it, is an out-of-place Japanese piece in a crate of Chinese bibelots. In this case, the fun is that the reader has enough clues to sniff out the MacGuffin early on, while the characters remain clueless. A bloodless mystery, a la Agatha Christie, with just a whisper of BDSM in which the whip leaves only a blush of pink. A fun read for lovers of traditional mysteries.
