Edwin of the Iron Shoes by Marcia Muller

I wish I could be more ebullient about this first book in a much-beloved and long-running series. Presumably it gets better.
In short, Private Investigator Sharon McCone is called in to look at why some of San Francisco’s antique shops are being vandalized. But when someone murders an antique dealer, McCone’s investigation ramps up, and she gets help from potential love interest and cop Gregory Marcus. The thing is, this is well enough written, and I finished it. But it deals with art and smuggling, and any book that focuses at all on art is a complete and utter turn-off for me. I just don’t care. Here’s hoping the next book in the series is more memorable for me.
