The Pew Group — Anthony Oliver

She didn't mean to do it, but somehow Doreen Corder's foot went out just as her detested husband reached th top of the stairs. He was in the antiques business and left her next to nothing in his will. Now all Doreen has is the Pew Group, a rather ugly but extremely valuable piece of pottery. It will bring her a pretty penny. Except that it has been stolen. So poor Doreen takes comfort in the arms of virile young Joseph O'Shea, leaving her irrepressible mother, Lizzie Thomas, with the help of former police inspector John Webber, to recover The Pew Group .
