Gift from a friend.

When the body of a lovely new acquaintance, Rosalie Chaffee, washes up on New Hampshire's rugged coastline, antiques dealer Josie Prescott is pulled into the mystery. A blow to the head suggests foul play. And when the victim's much younger sister, twelve-year-old Paige, asks for help, Josie finds herself doing what she does best--hunting for a valuable antique. Paige can't tell Josie what exactly they're looking for. All her sister told her before she died was that it was worth a lot of money, and Paige fears greedy relatives are already scheming. As suspicion falls on the victim's boss, the CEO of a modular furniture company about whom Rosalie was penning a biography, the mystery deepens. Soon, an illicit love affair, a devious wife, an old diary and a threatening stalker steer Josie closer to the truth-- and a killer surprise.

Great story. Didn't figure out who done it until the very end. Saving for a Cozy Book Box.

Received as a RABCK from heartthumper...I love it and look forward to reading it. Thank you for the great surprise. I loved the labels you sent as well.

I felt the plot of this book was a bit slow. I think the length of the book could've been reduced by 50 pages or more. Sometimes authors throw in too much detail instead of making it more concise. Oh well, I still liked the book. It is always good to see the bad guy or girl caught in the end.

I hope to see the main character...Josie...get married and have a family of her own in future books. It is sad that she feels so alone. It would even be nice if she found she had a long lost relative.

I left the book on top of one of the pumps.
