HTML:A New Mexico pottery dealer cracks a perplexing mystery in this "winning blend of humor and character development" (Publishers Weekly). Hubert Schuze is an adjunct professor at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque, and he has a fairly lucrative side gig digging up ancient relics and selling them. He also seems to have a talent for finding killers. When Hubie discovers a body outside his pottery shop, it appears the victim was stabbed in the back with something resembling a screwdriver. But the story gets a lot more mysterious when a video turns up showing the man collapsing with no one else nearby. Furthermore, a slip of paper is found in his pocket, with Hubie's name and address on it, suggesting there may be a connection between the two menâ??though Hubie has no idea what it could be. Now, the professor and pottery expert must put his sleuthing skills to workâ??while simultaneously managing his new role running the university's art departmentâ??to piece together the shards of a baffling crime in this "breezy" novel from a winner of the Left Award for Best Humorous Mystery starring a "witty" amateur detective (Albuquerque Journal). "[A] winning series." â??Susan Wittig Albert, New York Timesâ??bestselling author of the China Bayles He Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

This is Book #9 in a very quirky, very unique series, set in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
I am unsure when and how I first stumbled upon these books. They instantly appealed with their intriguing titles, sense of place, location, characters who grow and evolve, the intricate plots - all these strengths make for very interesting and satisfying reading.
In this particular ‘pot thief’ title, there are several parallel stories - 1 plot line is about Hubert, himself, his friends and daily activities; 1 plot line is his appearance at a murder scene and the uncanny resemblance of the victim to Hubert; and 1 plot line is about the book Hubie is reading about Edith Warner (the woman at Otowi Crossing).
This particular title is particularly introspective and marks several life changes with Hubie and his friends - while solving mysteries, of course.
Excellent Title. Excellent series **** ( )
