The Cane Mutiny
A Den of Antiquity Mystery #13
by Tamar Myers
Many antique dealers attend auctions of all kinds in order to find the best things to sell
in their stores. Abigail Timberlake Washburn is just one of those dealer/store owners who
takes a chance and bids on auction items sight unseen. In The Cane Mutiny, Abigail
is the big winner of items found in a storage locker that has been sealed for several years.
In purchasing the locker, she becomes heavily involved in a mystery, especially when
she finds that a bag inside the locker contains a skull. Is it human? Where did it come
from? Why was it in an old gym bag inside of a storage locker?
Overall, The Cane Mutiny is a subtle mystery where readers will be caught up
in the characters and their ongoing new twists and turns for information, and almost forget
what Abigail had found that started it all. It is obvious that Ms. Myers has some experience
with antique dealers. It is shown through the characterizations of Abigail and the other
antique dealers and collectors who are depicted. The mystery is not predictable, which
adds to the enjoyment of the story. |
