After a price-fixing scandal at her prestigious New York auction house, Josie Prescott moves to the New Hampshire coast to restore her reputation--and perhaps a few antiques along the way.
As an antiques dealer, Josie knows how to make an honest assessment, and she's about to land her largest account. But when the owner of the collection is found stabbed to death, Josie's fingerprints are all over his possessions and the murder weapon. Suddenly Josie's innocence appears as tarnished as an old relic. Everybody's got their eyes on her, especially the local police chief who may or may not be in love with her. Now it's just a matter of time before Josie can produce enough evidence to clear her name--or fall into the clutches of the real killer and find herself

Add a CommentCool concept, antiquing to mystery solving. Smart heroine, savvy lawyer, sexy cop and young reporter all make for a good mystery. I think Josie has the chops to make a good series leading lady, and I will be reserving the next volume post haste!
This is the first in the series. I enjoyed the book and look forward to reading the entire published series!
