Less mysterious but more fun

I enjoyed this book. This book is slightly different to what I have come to love and expect from this author but it works. There is no death to investigate and only the one suspect, so you don't spend the book guessing who is responsible. Instead the story focuses on how the characters work out what is going on. All the usual characters are present and accounted for but it is a standalone alone mystery, so even if you haven't listened to another book in this series (and why not?) It is easy to pick up What is going on and the different relationships. The author still used several characters to tell the tale. I liked the collusion and thought you couldn't have asked for a better out come for all the characters.A fun little mystery that is easy to listen too.
Marty is asked to appraise a sizeable collection passed down to a daughter after her mother's death. As her husband works at the police department under Marty's husband, she has no problem leaving everything in Marty's capable hands. Before Marty can do more than glance at the items, the items she placed a red sticker on as worth a second look are stolen from the storage locker. With the wife out of touch at a spar retreat the focus turn to contacting her husband but with conflicting information nobody knows where he is. Then Marty finds a note hidden in his book collection and finding the missing husband's turns out to be the most important thing, before it's to late. Can Marty and her husband find him or is taking down a drug dealer going to get in the way of helping a fellow officer?
For this book the author has gone with a male narrator and although good it took me a while to get use to because it is normally a female in the role. Also I wasn't keen on the music at the start of each chapter, it was to loud and kept making me jump as I wasn't expecting it.
I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
