The Antique Hunter's Guide to Murder

I heard an interview with the author, C.L. Miller on NPR's Book a Day podcast. The set up sounded great including an Agatha-Christie-style murder mystery and reveal based in the world of antiques. The author's mother was an expert in antique valuation, so I thought I was in for a real treat.

Sadly, the writing was very stilted and the characters were flat. I kept hoping the book would improve because the authors enthusiasm and ideas were so good, but she just wasn't able to execute.
