Shadows At The Fair by Lea Wait
4.0
"Booth number and admittance card?"
Maggie Summer is surprised at the increased security at the Renssleaer County Spring Antiques Fair until she hears of the death of a dealer the week before. Maggie was just returning to the circuit after being widowed in the Winter.
This was a lovely start to the series. Antiques has always been a bit of a dreaded theme for me because i couldn't find a series that spoke to me. I do believe that I have found it.
I really enjoyed reading the tidbits of information about prints before each chapter. I thought the characters were well developed and presented in a believable manner.
I did have some issues with the use of the word "retarded" for a young man with Down Syndrome. I looked back and saw that the book was published in 2002 and realized we have come quite a ways in political correctness since then.
I had suspicions of the culprit about halfway through the book but couldn't figure out the why. The reasoning was very sad and I felt bad for the murderer.
This is a delightful series that I look forward to continuing.
