The Antique House Murders, book two in Leslie Nagel’s OAKWOOD MYSTERY SERIES
The Antique House Murders
by Leslie Nagel
In this irresistible cozy mystery from the USA
Today bestselling author of The Book Club Murders, amateur sleuth Charley
Carpenter fights to avenge a crime that hits far too close to home.
Mulbridge House stood, silent and decaying,
deep in the woods at the heart of Oakwood, Ohio, long before the passing of
Augusta Mulbridge. Yet suddenly everyone in town seems to have a stake in its
fate: the greedy heirs, eager to tear it down for a tidy profit; the local
preservationists, determined to maintain it as an historic site; the angry
neighbors, staunchly opposed to the construction of a modern subdivision. Even
Charley Carpenter is forced to admit that her beloved shop, Old Hat Vintage
Fashions, could use an infusion of the estate’s treasures.
The clock is ticking. The wrecking ball is ready to swing. All that stands between Mulbridge House and oblivion is one final vote. That, and murder . . .
The trouble begins when Charley walks into auctioneer Calvin Prescott’s office to find her cherished family friend crumpled on the floor. Detective Marcus Trenault quickly connects his death to a string of increasingly violent burglaries plaguing Oakwood. But when Charley uncovers a link to a massive land swindle worth millions, not to mention a drug ring operating out of the manor’s abandoned outbuildings, that theory crumbles faster than Mulbridge House. Now Charley’s racing to catch a killer before everything falls apart.
