Antiques to Die For: Josie Prescott Antiques Mysteries Series, Book 3
(Adobe EPUB eBook, Kindle Book, OverDrive Read)
Since Josie Prescott left a high-paying job in New York to set up shop as an antiques appraiser on the rugged New Hampshire coast, her life has not gone exactly according to plan. In many ways, it's gone better: She has a booming business, good friends and neighbors, and even a promising romance.
But dead bodies do seem to keep crossing her path. And now her friend Rosalie has been killed just hours after confiding a secret to Josie, leaving a bereaved twelve-year-old sister, Paige, who reminds Josie of herself when her mother died. It turns out that Rosalie had other secrets too: a mysterious treasure she told her sister she was leaving behind—and a secret admirer who now seems to be turning his creepy attention to Josie!
As Josie races to solve the crime while helping Paige and trying to keep her business afloat, Jane K. Cleland brings us an irresistible new blend of coziness, crime, and collectibles.

In Cleland's engaging third Josie Prescott mystery to feature the New Hampshire antiques dealer (after 2007's Deadly Appraisal), Josie is stunned to learn that her fun-loving friend, Rosalie Chaffee, has been found, drowned, on the Rocky Point shore. When it becomes clear Rosalie was a victim of foul play, suspicion falls on Rosalie's boss at Heyer's Modular Furniture, his scheming wife and Rosalie's gorgeous volunteer fireman boyfriend. The warm, endearing Josie decides not only to investigate but also to take care of Rosalie's 12-year-old sister, Paige. Aided by a large support group of well-drawn characters headed by her police chief boyfriend, Josie follows such clues as an old diary, an artist's palette and a misplaced tote bag. Among other antique lore, readers will learn the difference between a highboy and a tallboy in this cleverly crafted cozy. Author tour.

In her third adventure, antiques appraiser and business owner Josie Prescott investigates when her good friend, Rosalie Chaffee, is found washed up on the local beach in Rocky Point, New Hampshire. There are numerous motives for her murder: Rosalie was being bothered by a persistent secret admirer, and she was having an affair with a married man. Paige, Rosalies younger sister, hires Josie to appraise Rosalies estate and to identify the valuable object Rosalie had told Paige the familyowned. Soon Josie starts receiving unwanted attention from her own secret admirer (or has Rosalies lover transferred his attentions?), prompting Josies boyfriend, police chief Ty Alverez, to offer police protection. The engaging Josie does her best to help Paige both personally and professionally while expanding her business, furthering her romance with Ty. A subplot involving Whistlers palette is entwined through the main story, allowing the author to delve into the antiques authentication process. Anyone who collects antiques will enjoy this satisfying cozy.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2008, American Library Association.)
