Book Description:
A CLOSETFUL OF CORPSE
Petite, indomitable North Carolinian Abigail Timberlake rose gloriously up from the ashes of divorce--parlaying her savvy about exquisite old things into a thriving antiques enterprise: the Den of Antiquity. Now she's a force to be reckoned with in Charlotte's close-knit world of mavens, eccentrics and cuttthroat dealers. But a superb, gilt-edged 18th-century French armoire she purchased for a song at estate auction has just arrived along with something she didn't pay for: a dead body.
Suddenly her shop is a crime scene--and closed to the public during the busiest shopping season of the year--so Abigail is determined to speed the lumbering police investigation along. But amateur sleuthing is leading the feisty antiques expert into a murderous mess of dysfunctional family secrets. And the next cadaver found stuffed into fine old furniture could wind up being Abigail's own.

Brenda W. (When Abby's purchases from an auction are delivered she gets more than she bargained for namely a dead body inside her Louis XV Armoire. Needless to say when the police close her antique shop she gets it into her mind to find out who put the body in her armoire and who did the dirty deed. Tamar Myers is quick and fast with her words and the book was a fun read.
Michelle J. (First in the Den of Antiquity series. A fun, fast read!
Den of Antiquity Mystery
Love the character of Abigail of Charlotte NC
Great sleuthing with much humor
Second mystery in series about the antique dealer Abigail Timberlake. When a dead body is found in her shop she decides to solve the crime in order to get her shop open again during busy tourist time. Very much a cozy, it's set in North Carolina.
This was my first experience with Tamar Myers' "Den of Antiquity" book series. What fun! This is one of those books you can read on a lazy summer afternoon and giggle over your lemonade!
I didn't think I'd like this book but it was GREAT! Interesting story and marvelous characters and it left me wanting to read the next one right away!
Kerry K. (Tamar Myers has a great series, a mystery but funny. You'll enjoy them all.
