 Jane Cleland visits this Saturday, May 16, at 2:30 pm
Jane K. Cleland returns to talk about and sign copies of Killer Keepsakes (Minotaur Books, $24.95). Here's what Publishers Weekly has to say about this new book:
"At the start of Cleland's absorbing fourth mystery to feature New Hampshire antiques dealer Josie Prescott (after 2008's Antiques to Die For), Josie's dependable assistant, Gretchen, fails to show up for a second day and hasn't even called. When a worried Josie checks Gretchen's apartment, she discovers the bloodied body of a strange man in his early 30s on the sofa. A valuable Meissen vase missing from the apartment and a Native American belt buckle on the dead man appear to be the only clues to guide Josie in her amateur sleuthing, though Wes Smith, a local newspaperman, later unearths the suspicious fact that Gretchen's Social Security number was issued only four years earlier, at the time she started working for Josie. Ty Alverez, a Homeland Security officer who's drop-dead gorgeous, lends emotional support. A Web search for the origins of the vase leads to a frightening escape for Josie and an ingenious solution to the mystery."
We are fans of Jane's work, and especially enjoy not just the antiques stuff but the day-to-day details of Josie's workplace, which sounds wonderful. We have all four of Jane's books in stock, including the first book in the series, Consigned to Death in both paperback ($6.99) and hardcover ($23.95, second printing).
