Antiques Roadshow meets Agatha Christie! Visit the cosiest corner of the Kent countryside in this page-turning whodunit featuring a funny, feisty antique dealer turned amateur sleuth. A day out at the village fete leads to deadly danger for Lina the warm, independent novice antique dealer with an uncanny nose for a bargain and a talent for sniffing out trouble! The last way Lina wants to spend a summer afternoon is manning a bric-a-brac stall at the village fete. But when her old friend Robin, the local vicar, begs for help, she can hardly refuse. The table is piled high with junk, but among the clutter a cheerful little parrot ornament catches Lina’s eye. Less appealing is the tatty silver snuffbox tucked away in the corner—until someone tries to steal it, and Lina begins to wonder what she’s missed. Still, when she absent-mindedly slips the box in her pocket for safe keeping, she has no idea she’s just made herself a target. Because someone wants that snuffbox. Badly. And they’ll stop at nothing to keep its secrets hidden—even if it means silencing Lina for good. Soon, her life is turned upside down by danger, deceit, and a most unexpected murder. This delightful traditional mystery series is perfect for fans of Faith Martin, Lovejoy, Clare Chase, M.C. Beaton, Simon Brett, Margaret Yorke and The Thursday Murder Club — and anyone who enjoys a good rummage in an antique shop!

Warm, clever, and endlessly curious, she has an uncanny ‘divvy’s nose’ for spotting treasures among the bric-a-brac, and a knack for sniffing out trouble where others see only clutter. Living and working alongside her eccentric mentor, Griff Tripp, who she loves as if he were her own grandfather, Lina spends her days at bustling village fairs, in her cosy shop, and trawling auctions for hidden gems.
