In 2009, Antiques to Die For was nominated for the David Award. My Take In spite of Josie, I do enjoy this series. Cleland provides a fascinating look at the behind-the-scenes of the antiques business. It’s one thing to refuse to gossip about someone, it’s another entirely to withhold information of any kind from the police. If it’s just a feeling, say that. Josie is such a hypocrite when she refuses to talk to the police. ARghHh! She won’t pass on information because a. it’s gossip or a feeling and b. Rosalie told her a secret. Hullo??? She’s dead. That “secret” could well be the reason she was murdered!!! Josie then leaves a valuable clue behind after reading […]
