A working auction house for antiques, a murder mystery and a hint of romance. What more could you ask for in one story?

I liked all the information about the appraisals and enjoyed most of the secondary characters - particularly Max and the police chief. I felt it took awhile to get the story off the ground and there were a few aspects I would've liked tied up a bit better. This has the potential to be an enjoyable series and I look forward to reading the next ones.

"A satisfying cosy debut... Cleland, who herself was once an antiques dealer... puts her insider knowledge to admirable use [and] proves adept at shifting suspicion from one character to another....Readers will want to see more." From Publishers Weekly

The story is a mystery with a splash of art history and a large dash of the antique/auction business.

Really liked this book. Good plot, characters and being that it is based in NH where I live, is an added bonus. Looking forward to reading the next in the series.

This is the first book I've read by Ms. Cleland and I really liked it! The subject matter, antiques and auctions, is wonderful and it's always fun to learn something new while solving a cozy mystery. I love the heroine/sleuth and am anxious to read the next one!
