Loveday Ross Mysteries #7
A Cornish Deception
The lamps cast pools of sallow yellow, too dim to reveal the shadowy shape hovering on the threshold. The story of the night begins to unfold. Someone is about to die.Antiques auctions were a complete mystery to Loveday, but her boss, magazine proprietor, Merrick Tremayne, really wanted the 16th century bible box. So she'd asked her friend, Priddy, to put in the winning bid. But now the box was gone - stolen during a break-in at her office. It's not Loveday's only worry. She offers to spend the night alone in a caravan that her friend claims is haunted…by a ghost who is stealing her treasures. Loveday's policeman boyfriend, Sam, objects, but she ignores him. When strange things begin to happen, and Loveday discovers a body in the night, she wishes she had listened to Sam.

Another great Loveday read!
I have read several Loveday mysteries, and I've thoroughly enjoyed them all. This book was filled with intrigue, suspense and some surprises. I highly recommend it to other mystery readers.
