It is getting serious between Sarah and Max. They even managed to get mostly disrobed in the same room - but no. At least it has gotten beyond "I'm newly widowed and can't even think about that" to "not yet."
I really do enjoy these. They have a vague flavor of the thirties, although they are set in what was, at the time of writing, the present - the early 80s. Okay, I know that was thirty-five years ago now - but still fairly contemporary - no cell phones. Maybe it is Sarah's continual concern with the proprieties - or maybe that is just the way Boston is.
The action in this one centers around a museum which I believe is meant to be a parody of the Gardner - at least I think it is the Gardner. Wasn't there a whole series of murder mysteries set in and around the Gardner? Or maybe not - maybe I am thinking of Murder at the Gardner by Jane Langdon. Something else to reread!
Stolen art, faithless friends, and a fake countess who creates antique Eastern Orthodox icons. Also a couple of rather nasty murders. And a serious suitor for Mrs. Sorpende - it looks like she is going to become a Kelling.
