Bid to Die

A Small Town Antique and Dog Cozy Mystery

Taylor Grey knows the thrill of winning an auction—the rush of outbidding rivals, the satisfaction of claiming a treasure before anyone else. But when she wins a stunning Victorian mourning jewelry set after a fierce online bidding war, the victory turns deadly. Arriving to pick up her prize, Taylor discovers the seller dead on his living room floor, and suddenly she's at the center of a murder investigation in Peaceful Falls. Someone poisoned Burt Fielding, and with threatening messages appearing on her phone and a mysterious woman watching from a silver sedan, Taylor realizes the killer may not be finished yet.

As Taylor digs deeper into Burt's world of online auctions and antique dealing, she uncovers a web of fraud, betrayal, and obsession. A desperate dealer publicly threatened the victim days before his death. A wealthy collector will stop at nothing to complete her prized collection. A bitter ex-wife stands to inherit a fortune. And a nervous young assistant is hiding secrets of his own. Everyone connected to Burt Fielding had a reason to want him dead—but only one of them brewed foxglove into his morning coffee.

With her loyal Siberian Husky Yukon by her side and the help of her close-knit community, Taylor must sort through the lies and misdirection before the killer decides she knows too much.
