Synopsis

A crime-solving caterer delves into the dark side of the New England antiques trade in the ninth installment of this Agatha Award-winning and “highly entertaining series” (Booklist). Stretched almost to the limit by the capricious demands of a Boston Brahmin bride-to-be, caterer and minister’s wife Faith Fairchild faces real tragedy when she discovers the body of an elderly friend. Sarah Winslow had apparently surprised burglars ransacking her Aleford, Massachusetts, house. No sooner has Sarah been laid to rest than the Fairchilds find themselves the next target—the parsonage is stripped of all their most precious possessions. Devastated and furious, Faith takes action, scouring pawnshops, antique marts, and auctions. As she turns up some of their stolen property, she is drawn onto a dangerous path of larceny and corruption in New England’s venerable antique business—a path that soon leads Faith straight to a killer…

Goodreads review by Sandy on February 07, 2017

Fun, quick read. The novel's strength comes from the author's personal experience with her own home robbery. The emotions that come from a violation like that was well written. Enjoyable characters, but would have liked a little more depth. A delightful cozy mystery.......more

Goodreads review by Janet on July 07, 2019

I had read several really heavy, somewhat depressing books and felt the need for something light and airy. This border on tediousness.
