Josie Prescott Antiques Mystery

review 1: When Josie Prescott, who owns an antiques auction house, arrives to do an appraisal at a millionaire's seaside retreat, she finds the body of someone she knows. Her boyfriend, once police chief in Rocky Point, is now working for Homeland Security, and the new police chief has just started. He seems very willing to enlist Josie and her expertise, since a piece of scrimshaw, possibly a valuable antique, possibly a counterfeit, is missing.
review 2: Another nice serviceable entry in the Josie Prescott series. Josie has been hired to appraise a nautical collection owned by some wealthy residents of Rocky Point. When she arrives, she finds the body of Frankie Winterelli, nephew of her landlady and good friend, Zoe. Frankie was out of jail, but was doing a good job ... moreof getting his life back on track and no one will admit to disliking him. There is a new chief of police in Rocky Point as well, Ellis Hunter is replacing Josie's boyfriend, Ty, who now works for Homeland Security. Ellis enlists Josie's assistance, especially in dealing with all the ins and outs of the antique world and the various merchants in Rocky Point. There is a lot of good information in this book regarding the art of scrimshaw and how contemporary artists are now producing pieces. This is one of the things I really enjoy about this series, all the good information about antiques. Recommended. less
