Synopsis

Antiques expert Rowland Egerton, the darling of daytime TV, has been stabbed to death in his luxurious West London home. The press are going to be all over this one like a nasty rash: the pressure's on Slider for a result, and soon. Egerton's partner, the bulky, granite-faced John Lavender, found the body; did he also do the deed? Or was it a burglary gone wrong? A missing Faberge box and Impressionist painting point that way. But as Slider and his team investigate, none of the facts seem to fit. And it soon becomes clear that the much-loved, charming Mr Egerton wasn't as universally loved, or perhaps as charming, as Slider was first led to believe…

I was going to state a falsehood - that I had never read this author before.

In attempt to correct this sit......more

Goodreads review by Deborah on November 15, 2016

This is an excellent mystery. H-E's characters are well-drawn and often lovable and Bill Slider is emerging, in No 17 of the series, as a bit of a superman (lower case initial) crossed with a Lone Ranger on a quest for justice. Her secondary characters are also a pleasure and her light touch of wry......more

Goodreads review by Judy on December 23, 2014

As soon as you begin reading this novel it is obvious there have been previous books. Regardless of that, this novel can definitely be read as a stand-alone book. Sometimes an author doesn’t do a very good job of giving new readers enough information to make them comfortable with character run-over......more
