Customer Reviews

The gift shop

I've read this book over and over for several years! Now I have children and we enjoy it together- The characters put me in mind of the old "Remington Steele" characters, searching for piggy banks with clues in them and out-stepping the bad guys. Lots of fun and some light romance, too.

A fun classic mystery

This is one of Charlotte Armstrongs best books, both plot and characters are excellent, as an airport gift shop clerk gets caught up in a chase to track down a piggy bank, bought by one of four children, before a nefarious criminal gang does the same. A thriller with just enough romance and comic relief.

a great entertaining and engaging read!!

I found this book at yard sale a couple of years back and i have read it over again several times--the characters are great--especially the quirky male lead character. it's a great mystery with a hint of romance and i would suggest that anyone in the mood to enjoy an entertaining suspenseful book purchase this!
