Deadly Vintage

the long version

Life is sweet for Molly Doyle. Treasured Antiques, the Carmel shop she manages, is doing well. Her niece, Emma, continues to enrich her life, and her relationship with the local police chief has reached an interesting plateau. Eager to try interior decoration, she's working with Carla, a scion of the prestigious Mattucci family, to redecorate the winery's public area. But Carla's unpleasant husband has other ideas and he's soon the latest murder case for Carmel's police chief to solve. But the Monterey County Sheriff suspects Molly and her boyfriend. Molly tends to business when not chasing clues, and enlightens readers on tricks of the trade like auction protocols and pitfalls, period furnishing, and the feng shui of Chinese Foo Dogs, all the while trying to discover the provenance of the real killers.
