I guess this one's part of my ongoing background project to read more of her books; I didn't know anything about it. I was surprised that it was sort of a sequel to the book set on Schuyler Place with the strange towers of art; that is, the main character's parents got married at the end of that one and later divorced. In this one, our guy has just moved to Florida and decides he wants to help with the big project of sorting through his neighbor's mansion full of stuff so she can move to a retirement community. She's a former opera star and a generally entertaining character. Meanwhile, there's something going on about the Nazi art thefts. The story was a bit contrived but also reasonably unconventional, which made it worthwhile.
