"mystery is enthralling"
Ex FBI agent Jeff Talbot is very content at being an
antique dealer, buying "treasures" at yard sales and homes
where the residents are leaving. He sells them back to
collectors and stores that specialize in such items. This
weekend he's leaving business behind and meeting with old
friends to fish and play poker. Before Jeff reaches the
cabin, he finds his friend Bill Rhodes murdered in his fish
and bait shop. Unable to forget the instincts that made him a good FBI
agent, he starts questioning people including the victim's
wife and mistress. He passes on the information he learns
to the local sheriff and returns home to sort out some
pickings, both his that he bought and Bill's fishing lures
that his wife gave to Jeff on consignment. After a busy
day of work he returns home to find his severely
agoraphobic wife missing. Jeff's first priority is to find
his wife and to do that he must to figure out if Bill's
murder played a part in her disappearance, and if so, what? Any woman who wants a man should pick one exactly like the
hero of THE WEEDLESS WIDOW. He is sensitive, caring,
earthy and strong-willed so anyone he cares about will know
he's there for them. The mystery is enthralling, almost as
much as the insider's look at a picker and an antique
collector. Harriet Klausner
