In this, the second book featuring ex-FBI antiquities expert Jeff Talbot, the story revolves around a fishing trip. Which is why the book is named after a lure. Jeff goes to meet up with his fishing buddies, and upon arrival he discovers that the bait shop owner has been murdered. The local Sheriff taps into Jeff's knowledge of antiques to help work the case. The reader is given plenty of suspects to choose from, all with good motives. And in the end when the killer is outed it makes perfect sense.
I love this series. And as much as I love the writing and the story, I love the antiques being discussed. Every one collects something, and this series is great fun for the way it plays on that. And you don’t have to collect what’s being talked about to appreciate it. Morgan does such thorough research, you’ll feel like a bit of an expert yourself for having read it!
Now you’ll have to excuse me, I feel like going to some thrift stores…
