(Sheri S. Tepper) mystery. Very good, intelligent. Main character Jason Lynx, an antique dealer/expert. Tepper well known as Science fiction author.

4th in the series, and it just feel tired and overblown. I probably read too many of these in a row. Got to space these mysteries! I also just read one by Charles Todd, A Test of Wills, and perhaps this suffered by comparison. ( )

While I enjoy the entire Jason Lynx series, I feel this is the weakest one. The character of the murder victim was so offensive that it was hard to understand why anyone even cared who killed him - he was even less sympathetic than most. When you finally find out the events leading up to the murder, you basically feel like cheering. On the other hand, the sheer number of plausible suspects made for a better mystery.

I also do not understand why the publisher would take such an intriguing title as "Looking for the Aardvark" and change it to the incredibly boring "Dead on Sunday". While I admit the second was appropriate, and that religion is important in the story, I would never have picked up a book with that title. ( )
