Book Description:
Antiques dealer Abby Timberlake Washburn is thrilled when the Mrs. Amelia Shadbark--doyenne of Charleston society--invites her to broker a pricey collection of Lalique glass sculpture.
These treasures will certainly boost business at the Den of Antiquity, and maybe hoist Abby into the upper crust--which would please her class-conscious mom, Mozella, no end. Alas, Abby's fragile dream is soon shattered when Mrs. Shadbark meets a foul, untimely end. And as the last known visitor to the victim's palatial abode, Abby's being pegged by the local law as suspect Numero Uno. Of course there are other possible killers--including several dysfunctional offspring and a handyman who may have been doing more for the late Mrs. S than fixing her leaky faucets. But Abby's the one who'll have to piece the shards of this deadly puzzle together--or else face a fate far worse than a mere seven years of bad luck!

Maria B. (This is a pretty good mystery series. I enjoyed them all. Light, easy reading with a good plot.
Susan F. (This one actually kept me guessing until the very end. Fun secondary characters, but occasionally the main character can get on my nerves.
Fun cozy mystery with interesting characters and trivia information about antiques. Prompted me to do some research on Lalique glass. I was wishing some of the pieces she describes really existed!
The author has a perfect sense of timing, mystery and humor! What a gift!
Antiques, business, perhaps a chance to vault into the "upper crust" - our heroine's mother would like to see that. Abby's being pegged as #1 suspect in local murder doesn't help her cause.
What a mix-up concerning Lalique glasswear in this Abigail Timerlake mystery. Abigail's mother Mozella is involved throughout the storyline and she's a hoot!
