Meg Venturi never expected the windfall she inherits when her grandfather dies. For some unknown reason the eccentric old millionaire has left her his profitable antique jewelry business. But there is a catch. Meg must share the business with an aloof, mysterious, and somewhat sinister young man called A. L. Riley. The town is whispering about her enigmatic new partner. Rumors spread about unspoken secrets, a dark and disturbing legacy...and murder. Soon a series of troubling events has Meg looking uncomfortably over her shoulder. The longer she stays in this tiny New England village the clearer two very troubling truths become: that all that glitters is definitely not gold...and that someone will stop at nothing to drive her away.

I loved this book. The story kept my attention the whole way through and even though my instincts where telling me who the villain was (and was right) I still wanted it to be someone else. I never felt like I knew where the story was headed and kept thinking about the story when I wasn't able to read. That is a sign of a good story! I'm very glad I finally read this one. I LOVED the use of memento mori rings and rings that some way or another spelled out a phrase or name. I'm a bit sad that I'm finished with the book now.
