The Collector

Meh. Mediocre Nora. She has done the eeevil antiques collector before, and better, in Three Fates and Hidden Riches. The secondary romance is way too underdeveloped to be satisfying, and the plot isn't complex enough to sustain almost 500 pages without dragging. Still a few good parts, most notably the nomadic heroine who repairs things when she's nervous and a surprisingly heroic teacup chihuahua.
