Gilt by Association

It’s a nightmare in shining armoire...

Petite, indomitable North Carolinian Abigail Timberlake rose gloriously up from the ashes of divorce — parlaying her savvy about exquisite old things into a thriving antiques enterprise: the Den of Antiquity. Now she’s a force to be reckoned with in Charlotte’s close-knit world of mavens, eccentrics and cuttthroat dealers. But a superb, gilt-edged 18th-century French armoire she purchased for a song at estate auction has just arrived along with something she didn’t pay for: a dead body.

Suddenly her shop is a crime scene — and closed to the public during the busiest shopping season of the year — so Abigail is determined to speed the lumbering police investigation along. But amateur sleuthing is leading the feisty antiques expert into a murderous mess of dysfunctional family secrets. And the next cadaver found stuffed into fine old furniture could wind up being Abigail’s own.
