A Chanel heel leads to a chilling murder in this irresistible blend of vintage fashion and deadly vengeance.
Josie Prescott has begun hosting classes at her antiques and appraisals shop, nestled in the cozy little coastal town of Rocky Point, New Hampshire. The next class is on building a great vintage clothing collection. But when guest lecturer Riley Jordan is late, Josie begins class by reaching under a display table for a dazzling pair of Chanel heels. Instead of the heels, she finds Riley, dead. When it looks as if one of Josie's employees may be involved in the murder, she teams up with the local police chief to investigate, one clue, and one fabulous vintage accessory, at a time.
Deadly Threads is an Agatha finalist from Jane K. Cleland, delivering a character-driven, humorous, and charming cozy mystery. Follow Josie, a savvy antiques appraiser and amateur sleuth, as she unravels the threads of this small-town crime. Perfect for fans of hobby cozies, treasure hunting, and the Antiques Road Show, this award-winning series set in picturesque New Hampshire is a delightful blend of romance, humor, and suspense.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Near the start of Cleland's well-crafted sixth Josie Prescott Antiques mystery (after 2010's Silent Auction), Josie is preparing for a workshop on vintage shoes and handbags at her antiques shop in Rocky Point, N.H. When her guest speaker, Riley Jordan, fails to show, Josie decides to begin the class without her. A minute later, Josie discovers why Riley is late after looking under a display table, where she's horrified to see Riley's strangled body. Josie teams with Ellis Hunter, Rocky Point's police chief, and Wes Smith, an investigative reporter for the local newspaper, the Seacoast Star, to find the killer, who soon targets one of Josie's employees. Authentic details of vintage clothing and jewelry, vivid descriptions of coastal New Hampshire in the early spring, credible characters, and a dramatic conclusion make this cozy a winner.
