Book Description:
EVERY SHROUD HAS A SILVER LINING

Abigail Timberlake, owner of the Den of Antiquity, has never been happier. She is about to marry the man of her dreams AND has just outbid all other Charlotte, North Carolina, antique dealers for an exquisite English tea service. Then Mama (who is running off to be a nun) stops by to deliver an early wedding present, and it rains on Abby's parade. The one-of-a-kind tea service Abby paid big bucks for has a twin. A frazzled Abby finds more trouble on her doorstep -- literally -- when a local auctioneer mysteriously collapses outside her shop and a press clipping of her engagement announcement turns up in the wallet of a dead man. (Obviously she won't be getting a wedding present from him.)

Tracing the deceased to a small town in the Pennsylvania Dutch country, Abby heads above the Mason-Dixon Line to search for clues to the origins of faux tea services. Accompanied by a trio of eccentric dealers and her beloved but stressed-out cat, she longs for her Southern homeland as she confronts a menagerie of dubious characters. Digging for answers, Abby realizes that she might just be digging her own grave in -- horrors! -- Yankeeland.

I like a good mystery, but this did not fit the bill at all. Funny in parts, but dragged a lot. The thing that ticked me off the most was who did it. I won't say, but it seemed a bit out of place with the other book I read by the same author.

From the book cover - 'A frazzled Abby finds more trouble on her doorstep -- literally- when a local auctioneer mysteriously collapses outside her shop and a press clipping of her engagement announcement turns up in the wallet of a dead man.'

The cover got me! A fan of Ms. Myers and likely to rmain so. A great read and quick - I couldn't turn the pages fast enough. This is the book where Abby meets Magdelena Yoder - another of Ms. Myers' heroines -- in the town o fHernia PA.
