3.0

This is the first in the Sharon McCone series - a private detective plying her trade in San Francisco. The setting was as much a character to me as the detective and the criminals. The story centers around the murder of a woman who owns an antique shop in a rapidly gentrifying neighborhood in SF. There are all kinds of potential killers - greedy real estate developers, crooked art smugglers and jealous lovers. The story moves quickly and there's no shortage of twists and turns. I can't wait to read more in this series to see how the characters grow and develop - one of the many joys of mysteries!
