Leigh Ann and Henri have an interior design business in town and their paths frequently intersect with Josie's. Josie owns an auction house and is always looking for antiques and collectibles to sell, while Leigh Ann and Henry often hunt for items for their jobs. Then Henri disappears and Leigh Ann is frantic with worry, hoping that he's OK. Ultimately, he is discovered murdered in a storage unit he had just bought for its contents.

Given Josie's expertise with antiques, she is asked to assist the police with their investigati... moreon--but will her help put her in harm's way? An enjoyable entry in the Josie Prescott series.
review 2: I enjoy reading this pleasant series featuring Josie Prescott, an antique appraiser, living in Rocky Point, New Hampshire. Josie owns an auction house and each book focuses on different areas of collecting. This book deals with the murder of an interior decorator in Rocky Point who is killed while cleaning out a storage unit he just bought. Henri Dubois has given Josie some old movie posters to appraise as well as a beautiful piece of jewelry, a heart wrapped in wire. The reader finds out interesting information about Fulcio Verdura, jeweler designer; A.P. Markham, a commercial illustrator from the 1920s and Batiste Madalena, another illustrator from 1924-1928, who worked for the Eastman Theater in Rochester NY. One of the best aspects of these books is the fascinating information Cleland recounts about antiques. As Josie pursues Henri's murder, she finds herself in deeper and deeper trouble. Always entertaining; recommended for anyone who likes cozy mysteries. less
