Laced is another in the Regan Reilly series. I think it's cute how Carol Higgins Clark gives her books one word titles that are verbs reflecting some aspect of the storyline. I can usually tell it is one of her books when I see them on shelf.
We follow Regan and Jack Reilly on their honeymoon in Ireland. They are staying at a castle that is reputed to be haunted by a ghost. The ghost is supposedly haunting the castle because she was never paid for the special lace tablecloth which is on display. On their first night at the castle, the fire alarm goes off in the wee hours of the morning. The disgruntled guests find out that the kitchen will be out of commission due to a fire and the antique lace is missing. And a note is left, taunting Jack. It is from notorious thieves that have eluded him. The hunt is on.
Add in a bumbling couple who are trying to score some extra money by selling the artwork of a housekeeper who works at the castle without telling her how valuable her paintings are worth, and we've got a Carol Higgins Clark mystery here.
I enjoy reading Carol Higgins Clark's books. Don't forget I love mystery/suspense books. Laced was an enjoyable, quick summer read.
