Description
The Antique Hunter's Guide to Murder by C L Miller is the start of your new favourite crime series. Think The Number One Ladies Detective Agency meets The Fellowship of the Puzzle Makers, as written by Richard Osman.
Freya, it's down to you to finish what I started...
Freya Lockwood has avoided the quaint English village where she grew up for the last 20 years. That is, until news arrives that Arthur Crockleford, antiques dealer and Freya's estranged mentor, has died under suspicious circumstances.
You will uncover a reservation, I implore you to attend...
When a letter from Arthur is delivered—sent just days before his death—and an ordinary pine chest concealing Arthur's journals with reservations in her name are revealed, Freya finds herself drawn back into a life she'd sworn to leave 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'. However, not all is as it seems; the antiques are poor reproductions and the other guests are menacing and secretive.
Can Freya and Carole solve the mystery surrounding the weekend before a killer strikes again?
