Dead Stock

A Small Town Antique and Dog Cozy Mystery

Taylor Grey knows the antique business can be cutthroat, but when a rival dealer turns up dead in his own warehouse, she realizes someone has taken competition to a deadly new level. Garrett Sawyer made enemies everywhere he went—undercutting honest dealers, selling stolen merchandise, and always seeming to know about valuable estates before anyone else. Now he's been electrocuted by a rigged vintage lamp, and Taylor finds herself drawn into a web of secrets, grudges, and shadowy partnerships that reaches far beyond Peaceful Falls.

With her loyal Siberian Husky Yukon by her side, Taylor begins asking questions that make powerful people uncomfortable. A bitter former business partner with no alibi. A wealthy collector whose reputation was destroyed by a forgery. A charming estate liquidator with a too-smooth smile. Everyone had a reason to want Garrett dead, and the closer Taylor gets to the truth, the more she realizes that the killer's scheme was years in the making.

As Taylor digs deeper into the dark underbelly of the antique trade, she uncovers evidence that hits uncomfortably close to home—and discovers that she may have been the next target all along. In a world where beautiful objects hide ugly secrets, Taylor must piece together the clues before a killer decides she knows too much. The fourth installment in the Sold for Murder Mysteries delivers another satisfying whodunit filled with small-town charm, witty banter, and a puzzle that will keep readers guessing until the final page.
