Who knew antiques could be so cutthroat?

Harmony is buzzing with excitement as the annual antique market comes to town. Locals polish up heirlooms for appraisal, hopeful for treasure, while others hunt for bargains among the booths and tents filling the event grounds. But not everyone browsing is on the up and up. Mixed in with legitimate collectors are shady characters, grifters, fakers, and smooth-talking scammers with price tags as phony as their credentials.

A storm rolls through the village, threatening to wash out the final day of the event. But by morning, the skies have cleared—and a body is found in the dewy grass. A respected appraiser, stabbed in the back. Jacqueline Parker, semi-retired photographer turned amateur sleuth, is stunned to learn that her friend, local antique dealer Mark Sutton, is the prime suspect. Jackie knows Mark would never resort to murder. But proving his innocence won’t be easy with a long list of out-of-town suspects who’ve already packed up and disappeared.

As Jackie begins piecing together a trail of fraud, forgeries, and fake alibis, she uncovers more than one motive lurking behind those dusty curios. To clear her friend’s name, she’ll have to outwit a killer who’s mastered the art of deception.

Hugging the banks of the Wisconsin River and rising into the wooded hills and bluffs, the community of Harmony invites you to be whisked away once more into a cozy mystery full of charm, secrets, and one sharp-eyed sleuth.
