Product Description

Product Description

The latest adventure from Lovejoy: the irrepressible antique hunter, lothario and out-and-out conman. Lovejoy is in serious trouble. For it appears that a local lad known as Mortimer shares his extraordinary talent for distinguishing genuine antiques from fake. Although perhaps that's not so surprising - as it is rumoured that Mortimer is Lovejoy's son...But there is one big difference between 'father' and 'son' - Mortimer's painful honesty, which is ruining the local antiques trade. And the dealers blame Lovejoy. Lovejoy decides to use his own gift to assemble a mass of antiques - with any luck he might be able to bargain his way out. But when he persuades one of his favourite ladies, the sculptress Bernicka, to help him tragedy strikes. And now Lovejoy is running scared. Particularly when the death toll around him starts to mount...

5.0 out of 5 stars Lovejoy's at it again, 5 Oct 2001
This review is from: Every Last Cent (A Lovejoy novel) (Hardcover)
If you're a fan of the Lovejoy series, you won't be disappointed. It's another rambling tale of our beloved and hapless hero. There's the usual bit of death and mayhem and, of course, women, all nicely woven into a new tale of wickedness in the antiquing world. Mr. Gash has his usual wonderful and educational anecdotes about antiques and other things (this time, most especially, Lloyd's of London) which leave a reader with feeling they got more than "just a good read." Lovejoy's "byblow", Mortimer, continues to develop a glancing and mysterious presence in this book, as well, leaving me wanting to know more.

3.0 out of 5 stars Readable, but below par for Gash, 19 Sep 2006
This review is from: Every Last Cent (A Lovejoy novel) (Hardcover)
This is the usual Lovejoy formula, as the amiable, amorous antiques dealer blunders his way through a mystery where everyone but him knows what's going on. Unfortunately, this one really is formulaic, and the formula isn't working very well. The plot is incoherent and it's difficult to keep track of the large cast of characters and their place in the plot. The usual Lovejoy asides to the reader about antiques, women and life still have charm, but they're getting tired and are not enough in themselves to sustain interest. This one can still provide a few hours of entertainment for long-term fans, but I'd recommend that new readers start with one of the earlier books. They're better, and don't require previous knowledge of the series to be able to follow what's going on.

Fans of the tv show should also note that the tv series cleaned the characters up quite a lot, and the original book versions of Lovejoy and some of the secondary characters are much darker. There's a lot more sex and violence, and a much higher corpse count. I prefer the book version, but the shift in characterisation could be a shock to those used to Ian MacShane's version.
