What antique would you kill for?
Freya, it’s down to you to finish what I started. . .
Freya Lockwood has avoided the quaint English village in which she grew up for the last 20 years. That is until news arrives that Arthur Crockleford, antiques dealer and Freya’s estranged mentor, has died… and the circumstances seem suspicious.
You will uncover an invitation, I implore you to attend. . .
But when a letter from Arthur is delivered, sent just days before his death, and an ordinary pine chest concealing Arthur’s journals are revealed, Freya finds herself sucked back into a life she’d sworn to leave behind.
But beware, trust no-one. Your life depends on it. . .
Joining forces with her eccentric Aunt Carole, Arthur’s staunch best friend, Freya follows both clues and her instincts to an old manor house for an ‘antiques enthusiasts weekend’. But not is all as it seems; the antiques are bad reproductions and the guests all have something to hide.
Can Freya and Carole solve the mystery and unearth the killer before they strike again?

Antiques and Murder!
The narrator was great. It’s a light/cozy murder mystery. Forty something Freya and her jewel of an aunt, Carol, embark on an adventure in the hope of finding the killer of aunt Carol’s best friend and one time mentor of Freya in the antiques business, Arthur. Arthur left some sketchy clues to get them on the trail. What ensues held my interest, I did enjoy this book and would read another book by this author, let’s hope there’s one in the works!

The best cozy armchair adventure
This was such a great mystery where you felt like you were part of the adventure. I can’t wait for the next novel

Wanted to love but fell flat
Really great premise but the repetitive nature of the writing (I think the words hunt, hunter or hunting were mentioned 1000 times) put me off. The characters seemed a bit overdone and the narration of the American accents was awful. Felt pretty predictable and this was more of a slog to just get through rather than actively enjoyed.

Nearly didn't finish!
I'd listen to Emilia Fox read the phone book, and that would probably have been more interesting than this book. It was so badly written, the characters were so annoying, even Emilia's brilliant narration barely got me to the finish line. Awful.
