Book Description:

Elizabeth Porter was a top-of-the-line Manhattan antiques dealer until her ex-husband and his lover's flagrantly criminal scam left her reputation in tatters. Now, using a new name, Molly Doyle, she's starting over a continent away in a rundown antiques shop in cozy Carmel, California. Molly is determined to make the best of it. But the early antiques bird sometimes gets more than the worm, and one prompt arrival places her at a murder site with a corpse in her arms. After she turns up at a second seemingly unrelated death, the abrasive new police chief considers Molly the prime suspect. Now the only way to clear her name is for Molly to find her own path to a killer, which will leave her either exonerated ... or dead.

This is a good read. I liked Molly - despite her smoking and swearing - and she felt "real" to me with her anger and her determination and her savvy. No cardboard characters here. Decent plot, better than average writing.

The first Molly Doyle mystery. After surviving a
criminal scandal that destroyed her career in New York, Molly Doyle is trying to start over in a cheap antiques shop in Carmel, CA.

Great first book of a series. Set with an antiques background.

I really enjoyed the first book in this series. There were the typical errors (wrong names, etc), but I was so wrapped up in the story that I couldn't put it down. I am definitely looking forward to reading the second book in the series.

One of my favorites. Antiquing and sleuthing.

Molly came to Carmel to start a new life as a small community antique dealer and leave behind the notoriety of her past. But when she finds a body instead of a treasure at a local garage sale, the police have her pegged as a likely suspect - and that was before they learned her history.

First in a new-ish series. Kind of fun to learn about the world of antiques.

First in the Molly Doyle series; her early-bird arrival at a sale makes her the one whose arms the murder victim dies in.
