Another fun entry in the series, this time Brooklyn faces her greatest fear blood and loses spectacularly. I just love that our sleuth passes out at the site of blood, now that she's learning martial arts will she pass out if she breaks someone's nose. Maybe we'll find out in the next volume. I really love Brooks, her crazy family and cast of kooky friends and her nemesis Minka. Any book with Mae West as a plot device is more then OK with me. ( ) The TV show THIS OLD ATTIC is visiting San Francisco and Brooklyn Wainwright has been asked to do the book appraisals for the shows that will be filming in the city. The first book that she is asked to appraise is a signed first addition of The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett. Realizing the magnificent condition as well as the signature of the author, Brooklyn informs the owner (who paid $3 at a yard sale) of the high value and offers to make a few minor repairs that will have the book garner several thousands more than her current appraisal. The owner is ecstatic and gives the book to Brooklyn for the repairs. When Brooklyn visits the owner's shop to pickup the deposit, no check just a dead body. Is this related to the man who had attacked her in the parking lot of the theater where the show is being filmed?? Is he the real owner of the book? Not only is Brooklyn in apparent danger but the show's host also has a stalker which is making the entire episode of THIS OLD ATTIC appraisals a bit dangerous, but have no fear, Derek Stone, Brooklyn's live-in boyfriend/security specialist is at her side and investigating who may be behind the murder as well as the other incidents at the theater. Really enjoying catching up with Brooklyn and Derek. Recognizing old characters and being introduced to new regulars is keeping the series fresh. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

"Brooklyn Wainwright is thrilled to be appearing on the San Francisco edition of the hit TV show This Old Attic as a rare-book expert and appraiser. Her first subject is a very valuable first-edition copy of the classic children's story The Secret Garden,which is owned by a flower vendor named Vera. Once she hears what her book is worth, Vera is eager to have Brooklyn recondition it for resale. But after the episode airs, a furious man storms onto the set, claiming that Vera found the first edition at his garage sale, and he wants it back--or else. Brooklyn is relieved that she's put The Secret Garden in a safe place, but Randolph Rayburn, the handsome host of This Old Attic, is terrified by the man's threats. He confides in Brooklyn that he fears he is being stalked by the show's former creator and star, who was fired when ratings declined. In the days that follow, several violent incidents occur on the set, and Brooklyn is almost killed, leaving both her and her security expert boyfriend, Derek, shaken. Is someone after Brooklyn and the book? Or has Randolph's stalker become more desperate? And then Brooklyn visits Vera's flower shop...and discovers her dead. Is the murderer one of the two obvious suspects, or is something more sinister--even bizarre--going on? Brooklyn had better find the clever killer soon or more than her chance at prime time may be canceled...permanently"-- No library descriptions found. |
