Meet Bella Winter. Antique store owner, snazzy dresser and… amateur sleuth?
Bella Winter loves her little antique store in the charming town of Hope Eaton. She gets to hunt for bargains and meet her neighbours, hearing about their lives and solving their problems when she can. But finding eccentric local historian Professor Oliver Barton dead in the ruins of Raven Hall is a bigger problem than she could have anticipated!
At first, Bella is like everyone else: saddened by a tragic accident. But then her colleague John asks her to dig deeper. Because it turns out the professor was hunting for buried treasure in the middle of the night, and John thinks he was murdered.
As Bella delves into the case she uncovers a hoard of suspects: the lord of the manor, a secretive group of treasure hunters, the dead man’s desperate niece and her no-good son. And when another local historian takes a fatal fall, Bella is certain that the answers lie in the antiques the professor stole. But can she solve the crime before someone tries to bury her?
A delightful cozy mystery introducing your new favourite amateur sleuth. Fans of Fiona Leitch, Faith Martin and Agatha Christie will love The Antique Store Detective!
