Every bargain has a price; this one is deadly.
When beloved antique dealer Eleanor is found dead among her carefully curated belongings, the police call it an accident. A fall. An unfortunate end.
Penelope knows better.
As whispers spread and suspicion turns toward a rival shop owner, a distant husband eager to claim the space, and a manager pressuring vendors behind the scenes, the truth starts to surface: Eleanor wasn't robbed. She was being replaced.
With Teo, her sharp-nosed chihuahua, alert to every wrong note, Penelope uncovers swapped antiques, convincing replicas, and a scheme built on deception and greed.
Until getting too close to the truth puts her directly in the path of someone who has already killed once to keep it hidden.
A standalone book in the Penelope Sinclair Cozy Mystery series. Clean, witty, and packed with antique intrigue.
