The Body in the Bookcase

A crime-solving caterer delves into the dark side of the New England antiques trade in the Agatha Award-winning, “highly entertaining series” (Booklist).

Stretched almost to the limit by the capricious demands of a Boston Brahmin bride-to-be, caterer and minister’s wife Faith Fairchild faces real tragedy when she discovers the body of an elderly friend. Sarah Winslow had apparently surprised burglars ransacking her Aleford, Massachusetts, house. No sooner has Sarah been laid to rest than the Fairchilds find themselves the next target—the parsonage is stripped of all their most precious possessions. Devastated and furious, Faith takes action, scouring pawnshops, antique marts, and auctions. As she turns up some of their stolen property, she is drawn onto a dangerous path of larceny and corruption in New England’s venerable antique business—a path that soon leads Faith straight to a killer . . .
