Resumen del Editor

Molly Appleby loves her job at Collector's Weekly covering auctions and estate sales all over the South. When her latest assignment takes her to Richmond, Virginia, to interview the staff of the hit TV show Hidden Treasures, she's expecting a quick, fun trip. But when one of the show's appraisers is found murdered, Molly realizes that once again she'll have to put on her detective's cap until the culprit is captured.

As Richmond locals flock to the show hoping that their family heirlooms turn out to be valuable antiques, Molly's busy behind the scenes, interviewing the show's staff and tracking down clues. When yet another staff member is killed and Molly herself is threatened, she's determined to discover which of the expert cast members of Hidden Treasures might be hiding a sinister secret, because no matter how priceless, she knows that no antique is literally to die for.

A Fatal Appraisal

Light mystery. Very enjoyable. Characters draw you in to learn more. Look forward to continue reading other books from this author.

Richmond, Virginia and Antiques Galore

The second in Ellery Adams Antiques and Collectibles Mysteries Series is a very good one, although I'm partial to the first one, as I am a pottery lover . . . this one, though held my attention throughout, and I loved the historical information included in and around the civil war battlefields of Virginia, the wonderful stories of furniture making near Williamsburg and Fredericksburg . . . the tales of the antiques make the book . . . and the mystery of the murders, of course . . . great series . . . downloading the next one!

A Fatal Appraisal

a very entertaining and enjoyable listen. I liked the characters the subject matter and endings

Interesting view of the world of mystery and antiques.

This was a pleasant mystery set in the world of antiques and the fun of looking for treasure in our present times. The story is filled with fiction and historical facts and a good mystery. This story made me take out my teacup and a pastry and listen.

Very Good

Ellery Adams is one of my favorite cozy mystery writers. She develops realistic characters and places them in real situations. This was another example of her writing skills. While on a writing assignment for Collectors Weekly, Molly stumbles onto scandal and murder. While she is investigating the mystery, she is plagued with doubt over her budding relationship with her co-worker, Mark. This is a very entertaining story. I look forward to the next book in the series.

A fatal appraisal a very interesting read

A fatal appraisal is well written well performed and a great story with twists and turns that goes in-and-out of different centuries and yet is quite easy to understand and quite easy to follow I enjoyed the book I enjoyed the story I've been to many of the places mentioned in the book so it opened up little memory pockets for me

Good read

Good read and story line. The murder line was too easy to figure out. The characters were believable. Love interest’s good. I didn’t read it for the character interaction not the murder itself.

disappointing

Ellery Adams's other series were enjoyable. This one was disappointing. Weak plot. annoying protagonist.

Way too many characters!

This book felt really disjointed to me and there were way too many characters to try to remember. I stuck it out until the end of the book, but I am not sure I will continue the series.

Not her best

Usually a big fan, this one was slow and a bit boring at times. No problem putting this one on hold.
