Monet
Talks
Den of Antiquity
by Tamar Myers
Monet
Talks
is another installment in the delightfully entertaining Den of Antiquity
series. Abigail Timberlake Washburn buys the "Taj Mahal" at an estate
auction. Of course she did not purchase the real Taj Mahal but a
handmade bejeweled replica that is actually a birdcage and comes
with its own mynah bird named Monet. Just when Abigail starts to
grow fond of the mynah bird someone snatches Monet, leaves a stuffed
bird in his place, and a ransom note. Things get even worse when
the bird snatcher abducts Mozella, Abigail's mother and sends her
crinoline and pearls to Abigail as proof. Will Abigail find the
"real Monet" in time to save Mozella from harm?
Unlike
other series that have become stale and repetitious over time, Tamar
Myers still has her "groove." Monet Talks is laughing out loud funny
due to C.J.'s never-ending tales of her distant relatives and the
interactions between Abigail and her other friends and associates
in the antiques business. I most highly recommend this book and
the others in the series to readers who enjoy cozy mysteries.
