A Bold, Bright, and Delightful Jaunt Back to the Golden Age of Detective Fiction

Janice Hallett, author of The Appeal, describes The Antique Hunter's Guide to Murder as a "delicious read" that combines a treasure hunt with murder at its core. SJ Bennett, author of The Windsor Knot, calls it a "delight" and Katie Fforde, author of Island in the Sun, says it's a "delight!"

Freya Lockwood, who has avoided her quaint English village for the last 20 years, is drawn back into a life she thought she had left behind when she receives an invitation to attend an "antiques enthusiasts weekend" at an old manor house. However, when a letter from Arthur Crockleford, an antiques dealer and Freya's estranged mentor, is delivered, and an ordinary pine chest concealing Arthur's journals is revealed, Freya finds herself sucked back into a life she thought she had left behind. But beware, trust no one. Your life depends on it.

Joining forces with her eccentric Aunt Carole, Arthur's staunch best friend, Freya follows both clues and her instincts to an old manor house for an "antiques enthusiasts weekend." But not all is as it seems; the antiques are bad reproductions, and the guests all have something to hide. Can Freya and Carole solve the mystery and unearth the killer before they strike again? Find out in The Antique Hunter's Guide to Murder, the unputdownable cozy crime caper from C.L. Miller.
