Publisher's Synopsis
For two decades, Freya Lockwood has avoided the quaint English village in which she grew up. That is, until news arrives that Arthur Crockleford, antiques dealer and her estranged mentor, has died...and the circumstances seem suspicious. But when a letter from Arthur is delivered, sent just days before his death, and an ordinary pine chest concealing Arthur's journals - including reservations in her name - is revealed, Freya finds herself sucked back into a life she'd sworn to leave behind. Joining forces with her eccentric Aunt Carole, Arthur's staunch best friend, Freya follows both clues and her instincts to an old manor house for an Antiques Enthusiasts' Retreat. But all is not as it seems: the antiques are bad reproductions, and the other guests are menacing and secretive. Can Freya and Carole solve the mystery surrounding the weekend before a killer strikes again?
