Review:
I only read the first book of the series, and I definitely missed a lot from the second novel! So while you can read this book as a stand alone, I definitely would suggest reading them in order! In this book Carol and Freya get drawn to Scotland when their 'co-worker' disappears while looking for stolen silver that was mentioned in their mentors journals. Only she didn't bother to tell them what she was doing. But a phone worries them and when they can't reach her, and she seems to have disappeared, they know they have to run to Scotland to find out what happened to her. Add in a hunky FBI agent psuedo boyfriend, looking for stolen art/art forgeries, and another impetuous employee, and a mystery of inheritance, and you have a cozy mystery with some teeth to it to keep you guessing!
