I didn't care for this series nearly as much as I liked the Magdalena Yoder series. I read the whole series in order, and with each book, I had to check to make sure I hadn't missed one in between, there was such a big continuity gap in the storyline. There are lots of details that are inconsistent from book to book. All in all, it was entertaining, but not great. I realize that's not much incentive to read the series, but maybe you'll identify with southern women better than I do!

My favorite kind of mystery: a murder, a little humor and a suggestion of a romance.

For a first in a series, did a great job holding your interest. Ending was a surprise but all explained... can't wait to read more by author

First in the Den of Antiquity series. A fun, fast read!

Cute Cozy, but main character Abigail is a lot like Mags Yoder of her PennDutch series.

Cute series, alot like the PennDutch series. But still enjoyable!

1st book I've read by Tamar Myers. I'm hooked!

As owner of the Den of Antiquity, recently divorced Abigail Timberlake is accustomed to delving into the past, searching for lost treasures and navigating the world of rival dealers. Still, she never thought she'd put her expertise and mayhem to other use, until her aunt was found murdered!

Den of Antiquity #1

First in the series. I enjoyed this. Reminded me a lot of the Magdalena Yoder series that Myers writes, had a lot of the same humor. Still got a kick out of it and will read the others in the series.

I just finished reading Larceny and Old Lace. I had previously read a book from later in this series, which I also enjoyed, however reading book 1 illuminated the characters I had previously met in the 'Ming and I'. Not only does the mystery have many twists, Ms Myers humor gives quite an enjoyable look at the life of her characters. Of course living in South Carolina I could relate to many of the terms and places mentioned in this series.

Great fast read. If you are a busy mom with many interuptions- this book is for you. It has spots of humor and a fast pace mystery with loveable characters.

I found myself laughing out loud while I was reading this book which is a clue for me that it's a really good book. I couldn't help picturing Abigail doing all the crazy things in the book and getting all tangled up and trying to solve her aunt's death. All of the characters in the book are just that "characters" and what a crazy bunch they are. I could almost picture them and all their quirky habits. I'm now looking for the next book of hers to read.

Great mystery series, very enjoyable. I particularly liked this book in the Tamar Myers Den of Antiquity series.
