Lovejoy, Book 3

De: Jonathan Gash

Lovejoy has heard of more nutters who have claimed to be in possession of the one, true Holy Grail than he has had hot dinners. He's not too impressed with the eccentric clergyman making the latest claim - especially when the good vicar turns out to be one of the finest forgers Lovejoy has ever met.

But when the vicar and his lady companion end up dead it becomes clear that someone else is after the old man's artefact. To solve the mystery and protect a precious piece of history, Lovejoy puts his life on the line and acquires a surprising new partner....

Lovejoy - well you have to laugh.

The Lovejoy novels have always been a favourite, being full of murderous villains, crazy characters and the wholly original Lovejoy, who has his own perspective on all of them. Add to this the fascinating bits of antique lore with which Jonathan Gash peppers the plot, and it's easy to be a fan. The books are never boring and frequently very funny, especially if you remember that Lovejoy, the antiques "divvie" is a backsliding, thieving liar who always means well. Michael Fenton Stevens does a great job with the narration, and carries the cast of characters effortlessly. Many of the early books in the series are missing, which is a shame. I hope that they become available soon.
