Strong addition to the series

The previous book (Shadows on the Ivy) had a lot of slightly out-of-place lectures on prints in American history and culture. This book serves up a dose of the realities of adoption, particularly adopting older children and children of different (and/or mixed) races or ethnicities. But in this case, it fit much better into the overall plot. Maggie managed to get herself an antique show organizing gig, as a fund raiser for a local adoption agency. As the show nears, the suspense and mystery ratchets up.
I felt that this was a well-written mystery. It didn't have as many blatant red herrings as some of her earlier works. Although I must admit, there was some clue early on that tipped me off to the eventual culprit - but there wasn't an abundance of blatant support for my suspicions, so the mystery kept my attention to the end.
