Referred to as “an Antiques Roadshow for mystery fans,” the Josie Prescott antiques mystery series features antiques appraiser Josie Prescott who uses her knowledge of antiques to solve crimes. In the second book in the series, Josie Prescott's life in New Hampshire is proceeding more or less as planned, despite her involvement in a murder investigation last year. Her business is thriving, her friendship with the local police chief has become something much more intimate, and she’s even collected a few candidates for close friends. Not bad after completely uprooting her life as a New York City auction house expert and starting fresh.

With so much suddenly to lose, Josie’s heart falls when another suspicious death occurs very close to her new world—Maisy Gaylor drops dead at a charity benefit gala Josie is hosting. Everyone in the prep area—including Josie—are on the short list of suspects—or wait—maybe Josie was the intended victim.

Can Josie ferret out the truth and still find the energy to develop the web of social connections that might just keep her grounded in her new life?
