5.0 out of 5 stars
Abby and Mags, together at last!, 8 July 1998
By A Customer
Abigail Timberlake's life seems to be going right. Her antique shop, the Den of Antiquity, is thriving. Her wedding to drop-dead gorgeous police detective Greg Washburn is two months away, and she has managed to outbid the other Charlotte antique dealers for a rare, one-of-a-kind silver English tea service. Her satisfaction turns to horror when her mother, on her way to join a convent, presents her with an early wedding gift - a rare, one-of-a-kind silver English tea service exactly like the one Abby just obtained. To make matters worse, Greg suspects Abby's been up to something: Billy Ray Teschel, a car wreck victim in Pennsylvania, has their engagement announcement, with Abby's pretty picture, tucked safely in his wallet. Abby gathers a few friends and heads north of the Mason-Dixon Line to clear her name, restore her virtue, find the source of the fake silver and maybe buy a couple of Amish quilts along the way. Readers of Tamar Myers' novels will be thrilled at her latest offering. Filled with the eccentric characters and humorous moments that Myers is known for, "So Faux, So Good" is her best mystery yet. Particularly fun is the way she merges her two series. While in Pennsylvania, Abby meets Magdalena Yoder, innkeeper to the stars and heroine of Myers' PennDutch series. Even though Abby tries to put one over on Magdalena in order to get a room at the famous PennDutch Inn, Magdalena takes pity on her and helps Abby with her search for the evil Teschel family, who may be involved in something more serious than fake antiques. "So Faux, So Good" is a well-plotted, fast moving story, and you'll want to read it in one sitting. Myers' tales are absorbing and delightful, sweeping the reader along on a rip tide of action. It's the perfect book for a muggy summer afternoon. When it's too hot to move, immerse yourself in Abby's world. It might not cool you off, but you won't mind the heat nearly as much!
