The Marriage Casket

Summary: Good Read
Review: Ms. Morgan's books were not something that appealed to me initiatlly, but now i am reading the 4th in the series! The characters Jeff talbot, his wife and butler make an intriguing central core for the books plots.
The Marriage Casket is an excellent plot. One i haven't seen too often. I didn't figure this one out and as an avid mystery reader this idoesn't happen too often.

THe bibiliography at the back of this novel, as with her others, is a fine start to those who want to learn more about antiques and such.

Summary: Third Outing even better than first two
Review: This book see the third installment of the Jeff Talbot series.

Jeff, a retired FBI man now works for himself as an antique picker. In this book he has bought the entire contents of a house belonging to an old woman. When the nephew who sold the wares to Jeff is arrested on suspicion of murder Jeff senses something is wrong. As he digs in to the woman's past he discovers what made her who she was and why what happened did happen.

A great book on many levels. I love the characters, I love the knowledge of antiques and the plotting is first rate.

I look forward to more.

Summary: The Marriage Casket
Review: This is the third of a series by Deborah Morgan and is an interesting read, filled with information about antiques and the life of the "hero" and his family and extended family. We meet a new memer of the family a sister of Sheila, who is a photographer and a very extroverted character. The wife, Sheila has agoraphobia and is house bound....and keeps herself occupied with computer shopping, watching movies and gourmet cooking. In this book, Sheila has found a psychiatrist who will come to the home to help her learn coping skills dealing with her illness. Hopefully this will open doors where Sheila can go "picking" with Jeff, and become a more intricate part of the story. One of the reasons I read this series is that I am an agroaphobic and am very interested in how the author handles this illness.
