Format:Hardcover
Lina Townsend is a dealer in antiques, and although young and learning all the time, has good instincts for an item of value. Whilst she has a comfortable father-and-daughter relationship with her professional partner, elderly gay Griff, her real father is in fact Lord Eltham of Bossington Hall. The Hall is now owned by a trust, but Lord Eltham lives in a wing of the historic mansion surrounded by antiques, some of which he instructs Lina to sell from time to time to keep him in champagne.
Obeying a summons from Lord Elthan to 'sell something' Lina finds a silver dish that her nose tells her could be valuable. To get the best price Griff suggests that she attend an antique fair, and in return for minding the stall put the item on show on the stall of Lady Petronella Cordingly - not a lady with whom I would like to share anything, but as she is the sister of Aiden, Griff's lover, Lina reluctantly agrees. The silver dish attracts a fair amount of attention not only from prospective buyers, but from the police as well.
Lina is an engaging heroine, and there's some fine characterisation in the supporting cast. For young Lina there is plenty of love interest, Detective Sergeant Morris, the local vicar Robin Levitt, and attractive Piers Hamlyn.
A perplexing mystery, with some good twists, and a satisfactory outcome. Highly recommended.

Lina Townend Antique Mystery Number 2
15 May 2012
Format:Audio CD
Evelina "Lina" Townend was introduced by her senior business partner Griff to a dealer in silver antiques. When the dealer encounters a problem with an upcoming show, Griff suggests that Lina take the place of the dealer's assistant for the experience.
However, Lina finds herself at the center of a fuss which threatens her and Griff's reputation as dealer. The silver dealers show herself to be far from the lady that her birth would suggest she was.
In addition it seems that someone is stealing from the stately home which was once Lina's father's property. Because it is now in trust a fine arts expert in the police force with connections to English Heritage starts to look around.
The characters are interesting and the plot, while not overwhelmingly good has enough twists and turns to keep the reader interested.
Read by Diana Bishop, a favorite for Cutler's books. About 7 hours and 20 minutes which makes it considerably shorter than the previous book in the series, Drawing the Line. The next book in the series is Ring of Guilt.
