The Sayers Swindle is well thought out and executed.

If you are a book lover of any kind, you will love this series. There wasn't anything bad to report on this one and that means it earns a five from my book bag. LOL! Which means it was a very good book. There are a ton of suspects and of course there is a dead body thrown in the mix and Jordan methodically puts the clues together to figure it all out, but I sure didn't. Jordan has to find a set of Dorothy Sayers books which have been stolen from her employer. The mystery in this one was engaging and entertaining. Abbott uses comedy skillfully in this book and makes readers chuckle now and then or shake their heads at the uncles' antics. They give a lot of comic relief to the book and are endearing characters in spite of their nefarious ways. Her uncles are hilarious and give a whole new dimension to Jordan's character.Īh, the uncles! They had some adventures in their day and Jordan has learned a thing or two along the way. She has been known to use some less than above board tactics when it comes to finding out things she needs to know. I loved the fact that Abbott didn't find it necessary to make Jordan a do-gooder necessarily. She is sassy and vibrant and drawn so well that readers will love everything about her. She definitely has moxie and she isn't afraid to use it. I think the authors did a great job of using those elements as a backdrop for this mystery. I could never afford a first addition or anything like that, but I find all of the information about rare books and the business of buying and selling them captivating. I like the fact that Abbott is taking book collecting and using it for her subject.
