More About This Book

Overview

"The autumn foliage is in full fiery glory on a beautiful day in the little coastal town of Rocky Point, nestled comfortably on the New Hampshire coastline. Josie Prescott is busy preparing for the weekly tag sale at her antiques and appraisals shop when she receives an exciting call - she's been asked to appraise Guy Whitestone's world-famous marine art and artifact collection. Josie jumps at the rare opportunity to examine nearly priceless objects in a spectacular setting, the renovated lighthouse owned by the Whitestones, Rocky Point Light. When Josie arrives at the famous financier's lighthouse, she horrified to discover the bludgeoned body of Frankie, the beloved nephew of her friend and neighbor Zoe." "Frankie had left a troubled past when he came to live with Zoe, and had quickly revealed a heart of gold. He had been working for the Whitestones and was thrilled with the chance to start a new life. Josie can't imagine who'd want to kill the young man." Desperate to find Frankie's killer, Josie soon realizes that a scrimshaw tooth, part of the Whitestone's extensive antiques collection, may be the key to solving the crime that has shaken the little town of Rocky Point and broken her dear friend's heart.

Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly
Cleland once again smoothly blends antique lore and a plausible whodunit in her delightful fifth mystery featuring antiques dealer Josie Prescott (after 2009’s Killer Keepsakes). When Josie shows up for an appraisal at the Rocky Point, N.H., lighthouse, she stumbles on the body of someone she knows on the kitchen floor. Frankie, the lighthouse caretaker and her good friend Zoë’s nephew, has “a ghastly dent in his skull.” The theft of a valuable scrimshaw tooth from the lighthouse owner’s vast collection may be connected to the murder, she concludes, as she lends her antiquing expertise in the subsequent police investigation. Series fans will enjoy getting reacquainted with familiar characters and meeting new ones. Everyone will learn a lot about the arcane art of scrimshaw. (Apr.)

    The latest Josie Prescott Antiques Mystery is a terrific cozy

    Antiques dealer Josie Prescott arrives at the Rocky Point, New Hampshire lighthouse for an appraisal. However, instead of a friendly greeting from Frankie the caretaker, nephew of her dear friend Zoe, she finds him lying dead on the kitchen floor with a blow to his head that left a major indentation on his skull.

    Josie realizes that along with the murder there was also a theft. Specifically, someone stole a valuable scrimshaw tooth from the collection. The police investigate while Josie provides antiquing consulting services to help them with their case.

    The latest Josie Prescott Antiques Mystery (see Killer Keepsakes) is a terrific cozy in which the heroine is not a more successful than the police amateur sleuth competing against the cops, but instead provides consulting services especially into scrimshaw. The story line is fast-paced from the moment Josie stumbles over the corpse of Frankie (an occupational hazard of the sub-genre). The audience will enjoy Josie's escapades as the whodunit seems genuine and clearly fun as are the antiques tips and glimpses behind the scenes of a dealer.
