I enjoyed the book, partly I guess because I am from New England so have heard of Brimfield. I also like antiques and going to flea markets and junk stores and finding treasures. If you enjoy those past-times you will like the book.

Lucy St Elmo owns an antique store and heads for a week of "fun" and treasure hunting at Brimfield, the largest outdoor antique show in New England. However a colleague of hers is murdered and his partner is arrested. Lucy is sure that he is not guilty so begins to check into the murder herself. When she begins to get a little too close for the real killer's comfort an attack is made on her. There are sub-plots involving her son and new daughter in law, and her own marriage.
