Customer Reviews

Absolutely wonderful read - couldn't put it down!

The book is so well written and the characters so likeable that it really bothered me to be done with the book! I simply adore Tak Wing and his unique fellow employees as well as Lucy, the main character. Though I also thoroughly enjoyed his other book and Emma Passant, this one is my favorite of his and of any other author I have read yet this year.

Jolly fun! Don't miss it.

This is the best sort of light read: excellant characters, compelling plot, and WONDERFUL humor. I wanted it to go on and on....and I totally agree with the first reviewer: let's have an encore!

Everyone should have a Tak Wing in their life!!

This was my best book of the year and one of only two "ten" ratings I gave in '97. I want to know Tak Wing. Do you think he will move to Eugene, OR? Lucy thinks of herself as a failure but is a winner with every turn of the page. Suspenseful & delightful! I WISH this was the first in a series, HINT! HINT!

One of the best mysteries I've ever read

Fabulous! The story is so original, the characters are so dear and funny, the writing just flies. I loved the ending, but hated that it ended -- you simply want Lucy and Tak Wing to go on forever. Bravo!

This book was enjoyable to the end.

Ending up with a boss that makes people into paperweights certainly is a new career choice. My thanks to Charles Mathes. Everytime it seems as though Lucy had reached the end of her search the next chapter would add a new element to keep your interest. The treasure was a pleasure. I am patiently waiting Lucy and Tak Wing's return.
